Inconsiderate, intimidating neighbors cause depression and anxiety?

I’m a longtime renter and I take pride in myself and where I live, I have been in my building for over 30 years and in the last 10 years or so I have seen a big decline in the property, both people and management are responsible for this. It only takes one or two uncaring tenants to make a big difference in how the property looks. I’m a senior and I have looked into senior housing but they are not very appealing, very poorly maintained, if you’re blessed with money in your older age you can afford to rent or buy a beautiful unit complete with all the amenities you need. It always comes down to the cost and sadly many people just don’t care where they live and how clean it is so they ruin it for the rest of us, the biggest insult is the rent is very high so that’s even worse adding insult to injury.

Hi Frouke,
I'm in a similar situation that you are. I've lived in a mobile home park for 30 years and like you said, in the last 10 years or so, it has declined a lot. It was a nice 55 plus mobile home park when my husband and I first moved in here. Everyone kept up their yards and flower gardens. It looked so nice! Now there is a new owner and it's no longer a 55 plus park. Younger people live here now and don't care what things look like. Since my husband died in July, I can't afford to move so I'm just keeping my place as neat as I can and ignoring the rest of the mess. Also the space rent increased! It's now $1100 per month just for the land that my mobile home is on! I own the mobile home. That amount is considered reasonable considering that most rents around here in Edmonds, Washington which is 15 miles north of Seattle start at $2500 and go up! At least Edmonds is a safe area. Seattle's terrible crime and murder rate hasn't gotten here yet. Also the police here arrest the bad guys. They don't in Seattle any longer. It's awful what seniors have to face in today's world just to survive! If you aren't rich, and I'm not, you have a real problem. I'm praying constantly about my situation and I'll pray about yours also. God is there for us and always has been.
