    Very nice place to live.. If you live below or near somebody that's clean... I personally and being affected by my neighbor above... For over a year now "other than that, i like it here.. People and staff are very friendly, but i am still waiting to be transferred.. Dealing with mental anguish can't eat or sleep in my apartment "due to my neighbor upstairs and his inability to keep his place clean.. An bug free!! In turn "causing me health issues" mental anguish" it's not fair paying for someplace, you can't eat or sleep in!! Begging and crying for help to get me out of here" and nobody seems to care" is the worst. !! I've been mentally and physically abused in my life by people and this is no different" i call and call are there and still, no help from housing authority putting me somewhere else so i can live properly" an healthy without being tortured day in and day out. My apartment is uninhabitable and nobody seems to care. Not trying to be mean or improper or cause problems, just want an need the help of a caring associate to help me acquire a different place to live "where i can eat and sleep in my own home" in peace. .. Amen.
