Getting used to staying in a crowded neighborhood where you have to share some facilities like the bathrooms and the toilets can be very frustrating and disappointing for the most part of your stay in that place.

Some flats have a condition that the dwellers have to share the water taps and hanging lines as well as the stores.This has led to numerous disagreements in those places because some people don't simply know how to share,they want to own everything and this is to the disappointment of the polite ones.

Usually in such places it is survival of the fittest and so it hardens the people who live there.At times you fight over the bathroom very early in the morning and it end up spoiling your moods.You end up arguing over someone using another person's property.This is not fair because some people end up taking advantage of others and don't care about their neighbors.

There's another habit of theft in common places like the hanging lines where clothes go missing every other day.You find that some people just steal from others and keep the clothes for their relatives or friends who live elsewhere and the relatives or friends do the same so it becomes a sort of batter trade where some innocent neighbors go shopping for other people.Some others also steal things like pegs which is quite embarrassing and degrading.

It is in these neighborhoods that there is always a fight.The women fight each other to defend themselves as well as their children.No one considers other peaceful means of ending wrangles so it's a state of constant wars and meaningless rivalry.Some also fight because of the gossiping trend in such places.Most of the people there have enough free time at their disposal and they use it to talk about other people, creating enmity and

tension among the dwellers and this results in fights.

In other instance most people grow hostile towards each other and they start pointing fingers at each other. Some people don't observe their hygiene at all.They don't clean the bathrooms when they are done, they litter the surrounding and don't bother to clean up their children's mess everyday.It becomes unsafe for living if you are faced with such situations every single day and this leads to most people moving out from such a condition.

Trying to cope in a new settlement can also be tasking and it is not easy to move from one place to another so it is much better if we learn to invest in mortgages or even try and stay in a more private space to avoid going through these challenges on a daily basis.
