6/27 - “What’d you do with my mountains?”

For last 6 months or so, every weekday morning when I’d prefer to be still sleeping, construction noise from outside my window has disrupted my life, and made attempts to ruin it. To be honest, now that the framework of this new apartment complex is in place, it seems most of the work the construction men are doing now is on the interior of the building.  Therefore, a lot of the loud noises are under control now.

In addition to the major inconvenience of construction, the bigger issue is that this new apartment complex is severely compromising my view of the Hollywood Hills.  Shouldn’t this mean I get a discount on my rent?  If I sign a lease with a certain expectation of having a view, once that view is compromised, doesn’t that make the property not as valuable?  Though if I asked my landlord for a rent discount, she’d probably laugh at me.

I’m looking to stay positive, and not be a spoiled brat (”Ooh my view isn’t as good”).  On the bright side, this new building seems to be coming together nicely.  They’re working on the windows, which make me wonder who soon might take residence in these units.

If you’re gonna take away my scenic view of mountains, you better replace it with a scenic view of attractive female neighbors.   Thanks.

Yeah thats a pile of horse shit, and without a doubt probably something that would only be taken seriously in court.

Haha. I think you should totally negotiate. Especially in this economy … maybe don’t say it’s because you lost your view though. :)

You should move into that new apt complex, especially if there’s gonna be some hot chicks as well as getting your mountain view back.

- too lazy to go to court
- probably too lazy to negotiate
- I have a gf, but if the view and rent is better maybe it is a good idea to move!

Under normal circumstances, I would feel bad for you. However, you live in Los Angeles, where the weather is significantly nicer. I’m guessing you also have a more exciting and fulfilling career than I do. Therefore, I refuse to feel bad for you.
