Review History for anonymous

Lamentably, I´ve lived here six years and counting...

...but I sure wish I could afford to live elsewhere. <br> <br>Positives: <br> <br> easy access to 280, Skyline, Great Highway <br> Lake Merced across street; it doesn´t feel like you´re in the city <br> covered garage included in rent price <br> apartments functional, though uninspired <br> rent is not exhorbitant relative to San Francisco and has come way down from what they were charging new tenants during the dot-com boom <br> <br>Negatives <br> <br>- dark, dreary, psychiatric institution feel--the place has long, twisting hallways and anonymous-looking doors on both sides like a Soviet prison--over 700 units is not conducive to individuality <br>- I´ve lived here all this time and I don´t know my neighbors at all, except when the police knock on our door and ask questions about them; the lack of social interaction makes this a good place for terrorists <br>- when windy winter storms hit, expect to lose power for many hours at a time; add spooky candlelight vigils to the dreariness <br>- as with any large apartment complex, expect occasional loud parties which you are helpless to do anything about <br>- since I´ve been here, I´ve heard of cases of auto theft, arson, burglary and most spectacularly a murder back in 1998; vandalism is endemic <br>- elevators, water work most of the time--not all of the time <br> <br>In general, if you are on a tight budget, are oblivious to aesthetics, are anti-social and have a high tolerance threshhold for creepiness this is a pretty good deal on the basis of a fair rental price with parking. <br>
