what is that smell'''

OK I wrote a previous review, about if they were going to be changing to condos or not. Well, as you probably have already read, they are.

Anyway this is about something totally different. I have lived here for almost 3 years, and for the past two, I have had to deal with a smelly neighbor. I don't know if its their cooking or what. but it smells like something dead mixed with the #2. When the smell comes it starts in my master bedroom bathroom. Then goes into the hall of the complex, so I know others have smell it. I have to literally close off my bathroom put a towel under the door. Close my closet. And stay out of my room sometimes when the smell has already gotten in there. I can't open the window because that just lets in more smell. My boyfriend is now worried that it might be Meth. or some kind of chemical. We don't know what that stuff smells like, but I'm sure if that was it others would know.

I sure hope when they renovate my apartment (not that I will be here anymore) they improve the walls, so that you don't have to smell the neighbors.

Another note I am not afraid of the HUD apts. They don't bother me and I have to walk through there almost everyday. Saying its dangerous is a hug exaggeration.
