Things I am NOT going to miss

Like I have previously referenced, living in the Galaxy is basically like being on vacation. EXCEPT for...

-At least one of the cabinets in the kitchen routinely falls off or gets disconnected on a weekly basis
-One can hear all of the noise from the street. And, it's a busy street.
-Across the street there is a mansion, but we call it the crack house. Our view allows us to look down on what is a very crazily designed and kept backyard. In this backyard is a dog THAT THEY NEVER LET INSIDE! I will not miss the dog, who barks ALL OF THE TIME
-I would say about every other month, an ambulance arrives at the galaxy due to 80% of the residents being very elderly.
-the times when the elevator isn't working and I have to walk up 19 flights of stairs
-That I can't just run outside when there's an earthquake that lasts longer than 3 seconds.
-The fact that everyone identifies the building we live in as "Oh, the one that caught on fire, where that guy jumped to his death?!"
-Charter Cable - every resident HAS to have it because of the homeowners' association. It's the suckiest ever and totally expensive!
-having a landline, which we need to buzz people in. We get numerous calls daily from telemarketers, survey takers, automated robots and collection calls for other people.
-not being able to grill at will.
-Adding an extra 5 minutes to my drive time by having to take the elevator to an underground garage to leave the building.
-my electric stove. Nothing is really wrong with it, perse, but I prefer gas
-lugging the laundry back and forth from the basement.
-that it can be incredibly windy living across the street from the ocean, and I'm talkin the kind of windy that you want to actually use the hood on your hoodie.
-No air conditioning. We won't have this where we're headed - BUT , we will have ceiling fans in each room. And, the windows don't make up the entire wall - which is great for a view, but not so great when it's hotter than hell outside.It can get to be like a sweatbox.
-No trick or treaters or ability to even display a pumpkin
and

- lots of other things I can't think of right now but I am sure exist.
