My Building Is Dying

It's official, my building is a few rumblings of the R train away from collapsing - I hope I'm not home when it happens, that would really really suck. Knowing that I'm living in a structurally unsound building makes life so exciting! I come home from work each night wondering if I'll see a bunch of hipsters from Williamsburg rummaging through what's left of my possessions. Dude, there's some awesome stuff in the rubble, check out this digital buffalo I snagged!
Sure I saw the severely sloped floors when I moved in, the wobbly stairs, the less than pristine condition of the building, but my broker said those things added charm and who am I to argue with a broker?
So I'll be moving soon - I barely knew ye 662 4th Ave. I let my landlord know I expect to be compensated for all the inconvenience, afterall, I've only been in the place for 8 months. Carlos, I expect you to do the right thing, relax David, I wouldn't even think of not returning your security deposit. You're a credit to landlords Carlos, God bless you!
On the bright side, I get to search for an apartment again - yippee! I mean, who doesn't love apartment hunting in New York? This time though, I'm looking for a broker who specializes in charm-free apartments ...

that's too funny. good luck with the search for charm-free places.

I hear there are tons of charm free places in nearby Charlotte -- could this be a sign -- lol
