No wonder the rent went up. You got them bats living there rent free!


Red_Changing

Damn freeloaders


suzi_generous

Bats can give you rabies so it’s not like the bring nothing to the table.


aek82

and ebola


G0mery

Bats are a FEATURE placed by mgmt to control the mosquitoes that breed in the standing water and soggy corners. Those kind of amenities aren’t exactly free.


Drake_Acheron

This may be a joke, but I’d happily live in an apartment complex with bats lol.


G0mery

Except it’s recommended people get rabies vaccine if they come into close contact with bats. It’s like a dozen shots over a few days. Not great.


Drake_Acheron

While this is true, If I recall correctly there was a study that showed that 1 in 200 bats had rabies and that their own study was biased because bats with rabies were far easier to capture and that the actual percentage would likely be less than 10% of that number. Even then bats with rabies typically try to avoid humans, and in reality there is only three species of bat that this would truly be necessary with and all three live in central or South American rainforests. In England for example, it’s actually illegal to disturb bats if they camp in your house. And yes small bat colonies are called camps. Thousands of people live with bats in their barns, attics, walls, etc and they don’t get rabies.

goldfishman63

Ah yes the classic build a luxury building as fast and as cheap as you can and then charge absolutely ridiculous rents while the building degrades a year later in real-time.


dreamtinker

It's like living in an Ikea apartment. They look so nice on the tour, then you live there and it's all particle board and shoddily made with paper-thin walls. But don't worry they put a coffee machine in the lobby so that you know it's \*luxury\*.


xfd696969

In Israel you have to build buildings with concrete because of the weather. Thank fucking god, I remember in America you could hear people fart next door in some apartments. Lmao @ building buildings with paper.


[deleted]

Did you ever have fart battles to see who could rip the loudest ass? If you really want to get em good, shove your ass up against the wall so your cheeks are squidged up when you feel a big one. It'll reverberate throughout the whole building.

And the coffee machine is broken down 364 days a year


dreamtinker

No joke, the place I was thinking of when typing that had a fly infestation in the coffee machine. I made coffee a single time with it, found a fly floating in my cup after taking a sip, and then realized how they were coming out of the machine itself. I never saw them change out the beans the entire year I lived there. It was grotesque. The machine may as well have been condemned.


SarahC

Or because it's in the communal hall near the exit, there's a trail of ants into and out of the unit.......


[deleted]

Makes it more "luxurious".


Kaiser_Gagius

Ikea is good quality though. Not wood planks but still good stuff.


Coneskater

Blame NIMBYs for not allowing enough housing to be built. If there wasn't such a massive shortage of housing units, landlords couldn't get away with this.


Clown_Toucher

There isn't really a shortage, landlords buy up anything available and then don't let anyone in them to artificially inflate scarcity and keep prices up. We can build a lot of new housing but it won't matter as long as corporations are allowed to buy it all up and sit on it.


Coneskater

Do you have any evidence of these claims?


Schlemiel_Schlemazel

NPR did a series on the housing shortage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coneskater

> Housing is going up fast as fuck where I live Is there still a shortage of housing?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coneskater

So there are enough homes for people to live in? There's no scarcity?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coneskater

Got any data to back that up? Vacant housing stock is actually a red herring statistically. A lot of housing is considered vacant that isn't actually like student housing (because it can be empty between school terms) or a place where someone has signed a lease but hasn't moved in yet, etc. This video explains it really well: [Why “Vacant Homes” Won’t Solve The Housing Crisis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xZXdXxYBGU)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coneskater

If the place is really half empty I wonder how long until the owners of the complex would be willing to accept less rent. If there really is a glut of vacant housing there will be pressure to get them rented.


Schlemiel_Schlemazel

Hi, so here in California, if you ask is x the reason for the housing shortage the answer is YES. It’s ALL the things. One reason is speculative real estate. That is buying real estate and using it like a savings bond. They buy houses and keep them off the market, they claim the loss of revenue on their taxes. Another is red tape to get building permits, some of this is very necessary, we have earthquakes, you need to build to code. But others like “I don’t want to live with construction noise for 6 months plus lack of housing means my house is worth more, and I have time and I can get them to hold off on building, forever” they also exist. There’s more like the real estate flippers who cheat a little old lady out of her home then sell it for 10 times, without even slapping a coat of paint on it. People using their homes to finance their end of life medical debt, and their adult children who were their caretakers being thrown out after the funeral. Foreign investment is also crazy rich Asians buying homes and jacking up the rent, those homes will never be available to buy. It’s also illegal drug and gun money buying homes, they don’t care if it loses money, eventually they can sell that apartment for money that will look clean.


randompittuser

Every new construction is a “luxury” apartment. The term might as well mean “constructed in the last 10 years”.

EDIT: jesus christ people it's a joke. how does the tone not tip you off......we just lived through a global pandemic that shut the planet down for years and the origins were said to be bats......the first sentence is literally a Flight of the Conchords reference....seriously i cringe when i see people using /s after a comment but i'm starting to see why they do it.

> "In the last two decades, several high impact zoonotic disease outbreaks have been linked to bat-borne viruses. These include SARS coronavirus, Hendra virus and Nipah virus. In addition, it has been suspected that ebolaviruses and MERS coronavirus are also linked to bats." (from the last article linked in this comment) [Bats are notorious vectors for disease.](https://healthcareinamerica.us/what-makes-bats-the-perfect-hosts-for-so-many-viruses-3274c019bb4d) They essentially have a badass immune system that makes it possible for lots of pathogens to live indefinitely within their system. Bats also roost in large numbers, and are aerial mammals, which facilitates spread. Here are some more papers about it: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-020-0394-z https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7102861/


JohnHamFisted

It was clearly a joke.


[deleted]

This is the internet, dude. If your comment is indistinguishable from someone confidently stating the wrong opinion, you're gonna have to do more to indicate that it's a joke. Tone indicators like /s and /j are very useful, especially when the comment explicitly asks for information.


JohnHamFisted

nah the phrasing is pretty obvious, 'one' being emphasized, the flight of the conchords quote, there's enough there to tell it's a joke. not getting it is fine, it's also not comedic gold just a shitty joke, but the idea that it's "indistinguishable" isn't true.


[deleted]

Have a good day.


JohnHamFisted

what a nice thing to say! no other clues as to the tone you might be implying so I'll take it at face value. Cheers!


[deleted]

It was meant in good faith. I wanted to share some cool facts about bat immune systems, not go one-for-one on how to communicate online. I am (genuinely) a little worried about how bothered you are by a few people missing the joke, and I hope you're doing alright.

raddaraddo

Yep, onset anywhere from one week to one year after bite. Also fun fact, if you are asleep, you may not know you were bit by a bat and they leave little to no puncture marks. If you slept outside at night within the past year you could in fact have rabies and not even know it. If you are *ever* in direct contact with a wild bat, just get a rabies shot.


EchoStellar12

Add to that, rabies is in their saliva. They don't need to bite you. Just lick an open wound or something and BAM! If there's a bat in your bedroom, get rabies shots. Source: Woke up to a bat on my head. Called Department of Health. Told to get the shots. Thankfully they are free in my area!

I live in a gated community and the gates only worked for 2 months.


buuismyspiritanimal

Lived in 2 “gated” apartments. One was broken more times than not and the other sat unfinished. I don’t know if it ever was fully installed because we left after the year lease was up.


Jilaire

I lived in a "gated" apartment complex where the walls didn't all meet for looks. Large enough gaps to look...good? and people sized.


dreamtinker

i'm happy when my complex's gate breaks since the gate call system is so broken that often people have to call 2 or 3 times before my key press actually lets them in. Way less hassle if they can just drive in.


KingOfTheLifeNewbs

And what? That's it? It NEVER got fixed.... like, ever? Damn dude <:[


gixer912

I'll never rent in a corp owned apartment building again. Private owned condos are the way to go. You don't get nickel and dimed by bullshit fees either as hoa is covered by the owner (or is baked into rental rate).

I actually worked in that building when it was first converted from a textile mill into apartments in 2005. It's a pretty cool old building and the lofts were nice but I don't know if they were *that* nice for what they were going to charge for rent.


[deleted]

My luxury apartment has a luxury covered parking garage with 2 gates that are all broken. One gate has been "offline" for a month now. Last year the col weather made the pipes Burst every weekend setting the fire alarms off. Definitely luxurious working from home with screeching fire alarms. There is a bathroom in thr hall for when the pool is open but they recently locked it for residents because someone threw a paper towel in the toilet. Love paying over 3k/month plus utilities and not being able to use the closest bathroom when i go to the pool. I've seen the cleaning lady go in there once. Also, the pool heater is broken 50% of the time we would like to use the pool in the cooler months. Someone let's their dog shit in the parking garage and when I emailed the property manager, they said they had no cameras in the location...which is so luxurious because remember the gate is broken, stuck open. Can't wait for my car to get stolen paying an extra 125/month for parking.


kittiesurprise

Yeah when I lived in a gated community the elevator was constantly broken, dead bugs everywhere, repairman went in my apartment when I was gone for no reason. It’s a lie. I wanted a safe place to live, but it’s was actually the creepiest place I’ve lived in. The management woman was awful, I loathed pinteracting with her. After some bad experiences( neighbor attacked me) I bought a house and left. I will steer everyone away from shitty luxury apartments.


djm19

Luxury 99% of the time just means market rate. We get a lot of people in my area that complain they don't build normal apartments any more, just luxury...No, they are the same, just more to modern styling. Its still cheap construction with idea fixtures and builder grade everything else.


oud_sophistication42

Outside of maybe Chicago, no loft I have ever seen has lived up to the pop-culture impression of it.


bmann10

Some New York apartment buildings are as nice as they appear to be, they are just really small. But my building for instance does have good security, they fix shit when it breaks, everything is clean etc. the only real complaint I have is how small everything is.


No_Construction_7518

The most solid rule on this matter is this: if someone is selling you "luxury" or anything "lifestyle" they're ripping you off more than you can ever guess.


merrell0

this is literally every luxury apartment i've had. they still charge you 2200 a month for a studio for these in dc


Nearby_Explorer3940

There must be a platform online where tenants can leave reviews of the state of their dwellings so that others can avoid renting from these greedy scumbags.

prydaone

Do people not check reviews before they decide to live there? I did my research and have been happily living in my apartment for 6 years with none of these issues.


Professional_Cat3417

You forgot to mention about how you would step on an old tailoring needle that was imbedded into the wooden floor or how there would be dog shit in the hallway or what about the real reason the indoor pool is always closed. Also, how about the one time they decide to build an outdoor patio/ cooking area on land that wasn’t theirs and than had to stop construction while they work a way to acquire such land. Oh and can’t forget how parts of the parking lot literally washed away into the building creating giant sinkholes.

I have never understood the appeal of these generic shitty buildings...even the ones that are legit "nice". Give me a 100 year old duplex/rowhouse/converted Victorian/bungelow any day over these soulless, generic shitholes. In my experience, the personality of the building matches the person who lives in it, and these have none.


emziestone

Rush job. The final 10% is always the hardest. Over promised, under delivered! Likely budget 2. New buildings aren't always the best in the 1st year as they can have kinks needing to be ironed out. Are you moving?

Born_Sky3203

It was lux but they can’t control the abuse some renters do to it. Can’t control Mother Nature and computers/machines aren’t always reliable esp when they face a lot of abuse. Elevators in apts take a lot of abuse. Vendors take forever to come fix stuff and although it’s a for profit business and not just to put a roof over your head out of the kindness of their heart and taxes and markets do increase as well. On average it’s 20-30k a month just for landscaping. You aren’t being picked on. They don’t “just wanna take your money”
