Well, I will never be able to afford that on my salary in the area I live in, so that's a moot point for me. Boston/MA in general is not like other parts of the country. My fiance and I make a combined 80K a year and we could never, I mean NEVER, own a house around here off that. We'd be broke.

However, since most people in this area can not afford homes, I do not think it is unreasonable to expect a quiet place to live. I lived in my last apartment for 7 years and never had a problem except for about 6 months when a horrible family lived downstairs. They were evicted pretty quickly. I never had any in the place I lived before that. I don't really buy the "you'll always have noisy neighbors" line.

Anyway... Since I had two months paid for and the landlord is no longer returning calls, I moved in this weekend and I will be leaving in 2 months. I have left several messages for the landlord telling him this and telling him why. I currently do not have a working fridge or oven and the landlord does not seem to care. The electric worked for about 2/3 of the weekend. Even when the electric works, the fridge doesn't so I've been living off non-perishables and whatever I can fit into a small cooler. I got some recording of the woman shrieking through the walls also, just in case it's ever needed to show that the place is not even remotely quiet, as it was advertised to be.

I'm not going to bother unpacking. Just using the place to store my stuff until we move again. It's gonna be a loooong 2 months. Wish us luck in finding another place quick!

Yikes! That sounds terrible, I hope you can find a new quiet place soon!
