Wiring is a lot trickier when the walls are made of concrete (like most apartments here, I guess. Still ridiculous though, I agree.
Another issue? Drop ceilings hung like a meter lower than they need to be! I casually mentioned maybe hacking it out to the building maintenance guy when he stopped by, and he gave me this horrified look and a giant "X" with his arms. Took him like 2 minutes of terror-stricken squeaks before he could speak again. Hard no, apparently.
I mean, c'mon dude, I'd put it back in!
Well, probably.
Putting stuff back is always harder than ripping it out, I've noticed.
