Millennium apartments

I have lived in this building for several years. From the outside it looks nice, and the amenities and nice pool area are what initially drew me to this complex – as well as the vertical space and how high it rises. However, I have come to strongly dislike this building for various reasons. I am not sure if it is a structural issue, or the ground settling, but I have driven into the parking garage with the same truck every year to move units, and I have noticed that over time the garage ceiling has “sunk”. This is very strange to me as this last year my car actually scraped the ceiling, and it is the same vehicle I have always used, which is really worrisome. I have also noticed that there seem to be mechanical issues with the electric situation. Most of all though, I feel like the design (at least of the units I have been in) is tragically flawed. First, every hallway looks the same and the floor in one building is equal to one floor higher in the other (perhaps because the ground is not completely level). This makes it extremely hard for visitors to make sense of the building, and they often get lost or walk into the wrong unit as the numbering system makes no sense at all. Also, I know it is a personal preference, but yellow and red feel like food colors to me, and not primary colors you would use in housing, but again possibly just personal preference. The worst of all though is the layout of units, it is terrible. There are areas that force you to either have your bed against a wall or a window, blocking natural light; and I feel like this is the worst example of an “open floor plan” as everything is oriented in such a way that does not allow the use of natural light, even with large windows. There is a mounted TV on the west wall immediate to the window so that if you are watching during the day there is a glare unless you close the windows, and the bathroom is placed at less than a 45 degree angle to the large bedroom windows so that if the door is not completely closed all of the neighbors can see you showering. The balcony door is placed directly across from the entry door, so if the doors are not locked they constantly blow open from the pressure. The hallways have strange acoustics to where you can hear conversations being had, even at a normal tone. I could go on and on, but in sum – I strongly, strongly dislike this building and placing furniture or making attempts to place decor have endlessly frustrated me here.
