2 of the 3 are normal. So why are you complaining? Is the 3rd elevator your favorite or something?

I represent a few HOAs and it never ceases to amaze me how petty people can be.

I can't really complain since I don't want to deal with the bullshit. People have asked me to run for the board, but I don't want to make that commitment. If you're gonna show up to these meetings and run your big mouth, it's only a matter of time before others are telling you to get your ass on the board. That's why I don't go to the meetings. I don't want to get myself agitated.

Suffice it to say that I have some basic philosophical differences with the current board. I see everyone in the building as a neighbor and my view would be that we want to be courteous to each other. They seem to favor what I consider draconian policy that follows the letter of the law rather than the spirit, often invoking technicalities to fuck with people who haven't done anything that would actually affect others in the building.

I had an awesome vintage apartment near the lake in Evanston. It was in a building on the Register of Historic Places. I loved that place. But the bedroom was right on the alley and my wife is one of these "princess and the pea" types that is bothered by everything when she is trying to sleep. God forbid a fuckin' car should drive down the alley. Me, I could lie down in the flower bed median of Irving Park Road and be sleeping soundly in three minutes.

Anyway, my wife had the place we live in now and it's pretty nice. Of course she won out so I ended up selling mine. No big deal. But I will say that the building has become progressively more Orthodox since I've lived there. The reputation for being a Jewish stronghold had kind of faded in the 90s but now it seems like it's back. Maybe my Russian buddies and I are going to have to take control of this place.

I rarely use the pool but don't get me started on that. The fucking thing was down for repair during the entire summer of 2016. Also, I'm not keen on "modest swimwear".
