I hear you, as usual.

Around here they are putting up high end high rises as fast as the tents are going up, simultaneously.

I feel the whole country is in the toilet, not just big cities. We too (not me personally) protested the monstrosities going up but they just want to make money. It's not THEIR life being upended with more parking problems and noise from construction. Even my view is blocked when turning right, since all the construction trucks and SUV's are parked along that street. I literally can't see if a car is coming unless I pull out far enough that I'd get hit!

So I have to go out of my way.

They are still doing roadwork on my block and the next, with the no parking signs still up, 9-4 weekdays. Some people are parking there anyway and getting ticketed. If I had to park on the street I'd be BLOCKS away.

I never did get emotional comfort from my "family" and got scorned for having emotions at all. I only just found out after decades, that they didn't have the ability to manage or feel emotions, even their own.

Here I'm still "waiting" for the development to happen a couple of blocks from me, after 4 years of that property sitting vacant. The longer it just sits, the more graffiti, vandalism and tents appear. I won't even walk on that side of the street now, going out of my way because it's too scary to get that close. I get a "lovely view" of it from my gym on the third floor.

Another disruption is my upstairs neighbor getting up early the last few days (he usually doesn't) and he has a guest also. So I'm getting noise during the few times I have quiet. And it will last an unknown number of days. Uncertainty, change, and disruption: My "favorite" things.

Now I don't know when I'll get enough quiet to watch my TV shows. I might as well drop some channels since I can't watch anything in this building.
