> Badly maintained rental apartments Not just badly maintained but badly designed as well. I've live in flats (apartments) since 2003 and off the two I actually liked there was a single distinguishing characteristic - They where quiet. One was a department store that was converted so the floors where thick rebar concrete and the current one was just well designed in terms of noise. Noise is an absolute determining factor on where I choose to live (as a life long insomniac it makes the difference between half decent sleep when I'm really tired and not).
