There hasn't been much happening in the last few days. We had a little bit of movement on the housing front yesterday, but to a great extent we are discouraged. We will be revisiting some property today to try and get our perspectives realigned.
The Stoned Neighbors
We are living in a three-story condo and our unit is in the middle of the second level. It didn't take long to discover that there was a young man living in the unit above us who is fond of parties and drinking. The night before last the party started about 9:30 and by 10:30 I went up and knocked on the door - it took several knocks before an obviously stoned young man finally opened the door. There where a number of young people in the apartment.
I asked the person at the door to cut down the noise - and I believe the reply was something like "OK, whatever man". Felling that this was perhaps not the commitment I was hoping for I told him that if the noise kept up we would call the police.
The noise did cut back for a while, but about 11:30 it was so bad that Helen called the police. When the police showed up and knocked on the door there was a flurry of activity in the apartment above including flushing toilets, and several people who climbed down from their deck onto ours (Helen opened the door and gave them hell!) who then jumped to the ground and ran away. We think that the police took a couple of people away.
Last night when we returned home we where greeted by a large slice of half-eaten pizza laying by our front door. A bit later we heard activity on the steps, our friends from upstairs. I politely commented to them that "I assume the pizza in front of our door is yours - I'd appreciate it if you would take it with you". The young man did and I thanked him for taking it - he did not look pleased.
We shall see what happens next, but apparently this young man lives in a condo that is owned by his parents and has been a problem for a long time. You ask - why has it not been taken care of? Good question.
