What has your apartment living experience been like in Dallas?

What haven't I dealt with. In general I have realized people are just inconsiderate as a whole and don't give a fuck about anyone else. One complex, I had someone pull a gun on me because I walked out to take my dog out and they were breaking into my neighbors apartment. Whoever the scout was for them continually had them try to break into my place every time I left. Luckily my gf was home so they would knock and fuck off when someone answered. Someone in the same complex firebombed a car and I had to move my car in the middle of the night because of the flames. Multiple robberies, one shooting, and tons of car break ins. Friend was beaten into a coma for her purse at her doorstep. This was in Addison circle. Uptown, relatively quiet, but regular gunshots all the time. Had to be careful in the garage because people would hang out in there to rob people at night. Always had to have your head on a swivel. Had a man chase me when I parked one time late at night. He was waiting for someone to target. When I moved further north to get away from the bullshit in Dallas, you'll find tons of new apartments that are built out of cardboard. Paper thin walls and people who do not care about dogs barking literally 12 hours straight. No care for blasting loud music all hours of the day and night. People who walk like yeti's and forget they have neighbors. Regular parties on balconies etc.... One of my units, the upstairs neighbor decided to have a party with around 70 people and I could see my ceiling bowing. They were doing step routines up there and my track lighting above my kitchen island fell and shattered on the counter. Tried to confront the guy calmly and nicely just saying it was disturbingly loud and we couldn't watch tv at night because of his parties/bass. He refused to open the door every time I tried to talk to him. People will always let their pets shit and piss in hallways, leave leaking garbage outside their apartment, let animals shit and piss in the elevators or stairs, shit and piss all over anywhere you step on the ground floor. If you are unfortunate enough to live under someone, no one will ever try to walk with any sense of athleticism and walks around like gorillas heel striking every step. One of my upstairs neighbors used to make my plates rattle and things fall off my wall when she walked. If you are thinking about facing a pool, don't. You'll hear kids screaming and groups of people who bring their own bluetooth speakers to all blast different drake songs all at the same time all hours of the day. I don't have a problem with weed but nearly 90% of units have everyone around you stinking up the place smoking in their homes so no matter where you walk or what time of day, it smells like you're at southside ballroom mid set even if its 10am on a Tuesday. God forbid you live around someone with kids, the majority of parents don't care if their kids scream and run around in the hallways, outside your window, above your unit, no matter what hour. In general, people are dicks. I try to take into consideration the people around me. I keep my unit clean, I don't blast music. I have a subwoofer but it's on a pad so it doesnt rattle. Ive asked the neighbors next to me if they ever hear me, to text me and I'll be quiet, but no one ever has. I take my trash out. If my dog makes a mess, I'll clean it up. If my trashbag breaks in the hall, I'll bring my broom and cleaning supplies to clean it up. I never live under someone anymore from my experiences so with the people under me, I take into account how I walk and just don't slam my feet into the ground. It doesnt take any more effort from me and feels better to not walk like an ape. And to top all of this off, you will generally be chased out of your apartment after 1 year because most places now will jack up the rent anywhere from 40 bucks a month to 200 bucks a month.
