What do the "no" votes want'

Ok, the place ain't the Ritz but it's more than adequate for the $. I don't understand the complaints about the manager, at all. She's always very helpful and nice to me. Calling her nasty names seems to me to be coming from a real, immature, ***hole.
Sure, some of the appliances are cheap but so is your rent. And the appliances work - if they break, management fixes them.
I've seen the cops here twice. Once was a heart attack, and I think the other was a visitor who thought they were sure the person was home but got no response from knocking, then banging on the door.
Maybe I'm lucky but my apartment is pretty quiet. I mean, there are students in some of the apartments, and once there was a Saturday night party next door where they thoughtlessly left their front door open, exporting loud rap music into the general environment, while people came and went, but I politely asked them not to do that and they politely stopped doing that. I very seldom hear any of my neighbors when I'm home and never a TV or shouting, or anything like that.
If you're going to live in apartment building, a moderately priced apartment building, you have accept that you're not living in a high dollar penthouse or 50 miles out in the country.
Actually, the noise complaint I have is that I sometimes I work nights and nap in the afternoon, and there's frequently grounds keepers grooming, mowing or trimming with noisy gas-engines. But they're constantly taking care of the grounds and with the balcony door closed, and the aircon on, that's not too bad either. The grounds are certainly not neglected:-)
Nice pool and main building. Basketball, volleyball courts in good repair.
I don't feel this place is, at all, unsafe, and I like the bus stop. Sometimes I take the bus, very easy and pleasent (you can read while he drives) and I've never, EVER seen any bums, homeless, degenerate child molesters here. Jeez...

What do they want for their buck'
