    I would assume the UK has better protections of disabled people than the US, but I’ve been surprised before.

      You might assume that, but in fact the ADA is one of the places where the US was ahead of the game in protecting people’s rights. It wasn’t always like it is now.

      You would think so. From what I am gathering, there are a multitude of reasons why this is illegal. Since from what I can tell, the majority of residents (including myself) are foreign-born, I’m guessing that has something to do with why nothing has happened.

          Oh I have no hopes for this being fixed. I’m just glad they have security now because from what I read, homeless people were doing drugs in the basement.

          Now only I am doing drugs in the basement!

          There also apparently used to be a rodent problem which has been solved.
