Well, at least I have my babies with me again, and they seem

1200 units, with swimming pools and exercise rooms, a
recreation building, and various community activities. I
expect we'll be happy here, but I'll be lucky if I have
things in order by Christmas, never mind Thanksgiving!

I'm so glad your babies are with you again at last!

I do have to say, though, I wouldn't consider that a "nice" apartment. Oh,
I'm sure the apartment itself is nice. But what sort of management company
hasn't removed the DEAD roaches before move-in day? And not check to make
sure there aren't any more around? Or without first making sure the
plumbing was working correctly and the resultant water damage from a leak
had been repaired?

Every apartment I've lived in, the manager and I did a "walk through" before
move-in day. I had to sign off on everything, from making sure the faucets
worked (without leaking), the toilets flushed, the shower functioned, check
the appliances for functionality and of course, make sure there aren't any
bugs.

I guess they just do things differently in California.
