I had to type this out because I have a lot of anxiety over this situation. Maybe you'll like reading about a day that's probably worse than what you're having.

Holy fuck - that's pretty bad.
I know the feel of those damn dehumidifiers, though, they are loud as fuck.
So, other than that, how is living in that place? I'd imagine that if you're on assistance and don't have to pay for anything, it'd be pretty chill otherwise.

It's hell on earth. 95% of the tenants are thugs or methheads, maintenance calls are never answered, and my rent is going up to $1010 a month. I'm moving away from this awful city at the beginning of next month.

Geez, which city do you live in?

Judging by the pictures it doesnt look all bad, the building itself that is. Is it just shitty neighbors? $1010 a month is pretty high so i cant imagine super low income families live there
