A few months ago I had my car towed from home, and I ran into my next door neighbor. He briefly asked me what happened. I thought it's the opposite of Mayberry where you live?!  You mentioned once how unfriendly the neighbors are, like in my building. Ah, Mayberry....you must be referring to the Andy Griffith show. I know the town name is used as a generic reference to a small town feel.
Previously you mentioned a porta potty in the parking lot. In my experience, it means they are going to do something that's going to take awhile: Examples like repaving, roadwork nearby or building yet more apartments. I don't know how big the lot is but around here, they managed to cram over 100 units onto a lot that used to be a body shop. And since they can't build sideways, they go up and build a high rise.

I see that you're in Canada. I'm so sorry to see that it sucks as much as the system in the US.  There are long waiting lists here too, and mental health was never seen as a priority in American culture. The "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mindset is too deeply embedded. And Covid just pushed things over the edge.

A few hours later, I got notified that a close family member was found dead today by the police. I've had a hard time calming down. Didn't hardly eat all day. I'll eat something now. My neck is very sore lately. That happens when I'm online too long.
I wish things could just be normal for awhile. I'm not depressed today.
