holy shit, dude. what a mess! are your options seriously gated community or shithole? there's no inbetween? mediocre, china! also not being able to use your atm card is beyond frustrating. i hope it works out, and you figure out how to get to your canadian money. but seriously, ugh.
Well, I guess the "in between" is downtown style apartments - there's no space downtown for pools or tennis courts 😊
What ended up feeling the most comfortable to me were buildings that still have security guards for the purpose of charging for parking, but allow pedestrians to freely walk in/through. My current place is technically a gated community, but because it's an older one they just leave the gates permanently open so there are residents and delivery guys and randoms going in and out all the time. The vibe is much better to me than those joints with expansive private gardens where visitors need to sign in and and residents have to swipe in and out.
