Apartment Life #237

This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 22 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 22 years here in a weekly blog post.



So the pictures didn't come out great because I grabbed the cell phone that my daughter gave me instead of my camera because it was closer. The Marshall's came and behind that green metal tree where they were standing was a homeless tent made from wood palettes, blankets and cardboard. I watched as the Marshall's went over to the tent and started throwing the blankets off and started jumping on the wood palettes to break them. They made the homeless people get up and leave. The way they did it though was messed up.

On Thursday a couple of maintenance guys were cleaning the gutters on the roof across from me and my building and I heard one say that there was a bunch of crack pipes up there because people keep throwing them up there. At least they're throwing them away. Good grief.

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

    And yes, the methods they used to move the homeless people on sounds very wrong.

  4. The way they moved the homeless people sounds a bit rough. Not sure what else they could have done though.

    Can't say I've ever found crack pipes in my gutters!

  6. Apartment complexes are a jungle even if they don't look like it.
    Now it's going to be even worse, I suppose. Lots of people in debt and without jobs, the virus out there causing ravages, and innocent people feeling helpless.

  7. I didn’t know people would throw away crack pipes. They’re not reusable? Lol, I’m not up on drug user habits.

  13. The places people think of to get rid of the crack pipes. What will they think of next. There must be a better way to get homeless people to move along, like a program would be a nice place to start.

    1. I wish there were more programs for the homeless around here.

  14. I wouldn't think that you would throw your crack pipe on the roof. It is too bad that they can't find a different way to help the homeless.

    1. I wouldn't think so either but I guess they did.

  15. Definitely not the most humane approach to move the homeless.

  19. You already know how I feel about those who are homeless, so to hear how they were treated so unkindly saddens me. I know there are rules, but surely that could have been handled differently. Hugs and hope you are well! RO

    1. I'm sure it could have been handled differently but I've seen this happen several times.

  20. Poor hobos, but in all honesty nobody wants them near their home, sadly. As Ro said, they could've handled it more gently.

    1. Yeah it could have been handled differently.

  21. Wow we really need to change the way we treat our homeless population a lot of whom are military vets.

  22. Sounds like it's an ongoing problem with no easy solutions. I hope the drug users stay out of your neck of the woods.
