[Preface: Sorry guys if this post belongs in another section, but it isn't just about moving or housing, it is about seeking shared experiences and finding solutions to this issue, while asking anyone who may know the answer to the main question (the title of this thread).]
Hey Everyone. Just blowin' off a little steam, and not sure if it is even worth posting. But, I live in a supposedly complete subdivision in Dasmarinas, Cavite. However, every s.i.n.g.l.e day there is some kind of construction or renovation going on in a supposedly complete subdivision.
I am weary of the handheld grinders, the pounding, the loud-mouth workers, the metal clanging, and whatnot. I cannot believe how much metal (not talking about rebar) is being used on houses (inside and out). I often think that these "people" build and renovate houses with just a grinder. Forget the hammer and nails, just grind it!
People in this subdivision never seem to be content with their houses. They just keep adding more and more to their houses as if they were in competition with each other. The houses here are single-floor, detached, two-bedrooms, but everyone seems to be in a race to add another floor (and often two more floors). The construction NEVER stops. It has not ceased in the nine years that I have been living in this subdivision.
I am looking for a way out but can't seem to find anywhere that I would not have to endure this; especially since the nature of my work requires internet, so I cannot just up and leave without going through a (long) transfer process with PLDT.
Nevertheless, I feel like I am ready to snap at times and go grab a grinder from one of these "people" using them and start grinding someone's butt. I know how that would end though.
So, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I already have the dogs barking, the videoke, the noisy neighbors, the obnoxious children outside, and as a bonus, never-ending construction.
I don't even refer to this place anymore as a subdivision (no joke). I call it a construction zone. There is no peace here. Sometimes they even push it to Sundays but not without a fight from me.
I doubt there is much that can be done because the response will simply be that they are building or renovating.
Anyone else have this kind of experience?
Can anyone suggest a peaceful area in the region, or country for that matter, because I am just about at the point of being willing to exhaust my resources to relocate; or worse, God-forbid, violence -- but it feels like a 'snap' is coming.
