I live next to a sprawling apartment complex after rezoning allowed it to go in.

Now we have a large homeless encampment partially on the apartment complex lot - that the complex can't deal with because their lawyers told them off.

Now we have a significant uptick in petty but quality of life impacting crime.

The roads around the apartment complex are now swamped because the entrances were placed stupidly.

And the people who live in that apartment complex are also upset about all of this.

None of this is about "my investment". It is about not letting commercial outfits hurt my quality of life to subsidize their profit margin. It's not the fault of the tenants, nor me.

Now we get to sue the stupid property management company until they fix their issues.
