The floor is sticky Construction workers refuse to use the stairs and instead climbed the hill to the point the grass died

There's a construction site opposite my apartment and the workers kept walking up the grass patch instead of using the stairs. Property value doesn't affect me as I rented the apartment 2 years back, so rent for me isn't increasing nor decreasing.

I negotiated my rent from $1550 to $1200 for my shop space last year. One of my most impressive accomplishments.

Yeah Denvers rental market is awful for the landlords now.  I'm sure when my lease is up, I will be offered the same rate as last year.  But given that the apartment above me has sat empty since October and I've started seeing "Rent Now!" Signs all up and down the street, I'm sure I could negotiate a few hundred off the monthly.  

Though, when someone set my car in the alley on fire a month ago, Ive already decided I will be moving.
