Long gone are the days when I could see the sea, the Kuwait towers, the Liberation tower and other well-known landmarks in Kuwait from my bedroom window. I live less than a block away from the sea and can barely get a glimpse of the sea. When I look out today, all I am capable of seeing are concrete buildings that come up quicker than a person’s mind can absorb. Less than two years ago, I had a view. Honestly, I could care less about the view from my bedroom window now.
What my little mind wonders about is with the rise of all these concrete buildings, why can I not find an apartment for myself? What is so difficult to understand is why do these new apartments resemble sardine boxes? How do these landlords and architects believe a 3m x 3m bedroom is enough for someone to stay in? How do they believe that living rooms should not be larger than 7m x 4m (the largest I have found so far)? Now here is the tricky question: How do these landlords believe that tiny 2 bedroom apartment in some alley, which does not have parking space for it’s occupants, is worth KD 550/- per month not including electricity, water or maintenance??
My dear readers, long gone are the days when I had a view, but also, long gone are the days of extremely spacious 3 bedroom apartments for ONLY KD 350/- a month including underground parking for 2 cars, electricity, water, and maintenance.
i think you are searching in the wrong place,
Widen your search area, and you will hit gold.
I have covered 2 areas already. I also searched outskirts of some areas.
I am widening my search area but I would be sacrificing location.
