"But you live in New York!" only works to a point
Tomorrow evening we say goodbye to this luckless apt forever.
To its credit, I suppose there were a few bright spots. A rundown:
+ Pretty blue walls, self-painted
+ TV, microwave
+ Hardwoods w/ minimal buckling
+ Shower in the bathroom (vs. in the kitchen)
+ Proximity to bus line
And now, the flip:
- Damp walls = peeling paint (hardly pretty)
- Fuses blown daily
- Bathroom suited for a 1/2 person
- Living in fear of cancelled electricity
- Living in fear of returning home to changed locks
- Living in fear that growling-man would find a way in
- Dollbed
- Mid-sized cockroaches (~5 sightings)--thanks, at least in part, to certain tenants' uncontained food-garbage (classy)
- Hearing our cross-hall neighbor smooth-talk the ladies at 3 a.m.
- Long-ass trek to the train
- Long hairy bugs as yet unclassified by entomologists
Let's hear it for the cons!
Good riddance, 1A.

The long hairy bugs clinched it. Best of luck in your new place!!! MM
I know how hard it is to leave walls you've painted yourself in a color you adore. There will be other walls...
Happy moving! Happy new place!

Exactly. There's even some prettypretty paint left over...
