This has been because I am not at peace or anywhere near it within my present living space. As the constant noise pollution, slum-lordish antics, disrespectful and rude neighbors are becoming intrusive to my quality of life.
So much so that I've been prescribed volume meds to assist in controlling my anxiety and stress levels caused by these unnecessary inflictions.
Below is an actual ad I posted to craigslist today.
I posted in the apartment wanted section. It's how I found the 2 bedroom house I rented before I moved into the current apartments.
What happen to the ideal two bedroom house one might ask? A "slime-lord" took over the property and wanted to initially increase my rent to an almost extra three-hundred dollars per month. I had to leave.
Presently as I type this email I'm attempting to maintain my stress levels due to the disrespectful neighbor who has the dogs that bark annoyingly out of the window of her apartment.
I can hear every yammer as the barks echo off the adjacent building creating a vortex of a barking nuisance.
This goes on day & night at all times. I'm past annoyed. I'm distracted and angry.
Police cant/wont help.
Letters to animal services move like molasses.
Property managers uninvolved.
Isn't this their problem anyways?
Provide for tenants?
Anyways....
Here's my post:
$1350 - 1000sq - Visual & Audio Pro Requires Creative/Work/Live Space
As a multi-talented artist & facilities management
professional, I long for a creative-live-work space that I can finally call
home.
Apartment & Apartment home-living is definitely not for me
and has potentially scorned me for life.
As a working professional, I value time, efficiency &
functionality of my living space, thus slum-lords & site managers that do
not pay close attention to the intricate details in the everyday maintenance &
survey of their properties can ultimately hinder ones quality of life, by which
is of the utmost importance when I think about writing a check every month.
A stand alone residence or creative-work-live space would be
ideal.
I am multi-talented & skilled in the arts of photography,
graphic design, audio for songwriting & composing music, and the culinary
arts. My day job is the facilities director for a Hollywood-based nonprofit
organization. I’ve been affiliated in the professional facilities management
realm for over 10 years. I’ve been an artist all of my life. It is great
therapy.
I've viewed some of the commercially & resident available
work/live spaces that real estate companies
are currently making available to artist but findings are discriminatory
against anything having to do with musicians, which is in fact my dilemma.
Most of those spaces come with all of these luxury style
amenities that seem to be the focus of design but are not ideal in the guiding
inspiration for multi-artist such as myself.
Such the ideal work live space might allow me to produce
visual & audio creations and commercially pre-prepped foods & products
for potential/future clients.
Some seem to think when it come to musicians there will always
be a problem with volume control. When it comes to audio, most musicians may
agree that even within their own living environment, volume/sound is important but
always within a respectable ear shot of others. Professional musicians, not to
be affiliated with “beat-makers & bass driven bands”, take the necessary
precautions in soundproofing their environment just for the sake of outside
elements that can impede recordings. This same sense of professionalism comes
with blatant respect amongst the neighboring tenants in or around the block. For
the record there is a difference in a work-live-space vs a band-practice or
rehearsal space. Loud is never an option for the pro or pro-at-heart, as
hearing-impaired factors play a serious role in the working musician.
As a unique visual, audio, & culinary artist this is why my
living space is an essential part of who I am, not be confused by a more commonplace
tenant.
No negative intent here, just truth.
If you can assist by providing such the ideal space at a cost
per month that wouldn't bar from my potential to earn a decent & fair
living but also contribute to the quality of life for others as I or anyone in
my position would also want for themselves.
Some say life isn't fair. I say life is what you make of it.
In the sense of practical living, for the many persons of my
stature who contribute daily to improving the lives of others through the
artistic genres & businesses of entertainment, art, music, food &
photography, it is only fair that we as the artist are met with fair living
conditions in order to maintain our multifunctional places in society.
There has to be one person in the land of many real estate
brokers, property managers of such that are more open to the idea that a living
space just isn't for living anymore. Now… that would be fair.
If for anything else, thanks for reading.
I am hopeful that
someone…something will come through soon.
This is my attempt at evolvement.
