“J Condo is completely sold out and has been for over 18 months — several resales are now in progress.”
Lie. Drive by there at night. The whole building is dark!
“Oro hasn’t started closings yet, so of course it’s unoccupied.”
And wont!
“Forte started closings a few weeks ago and is closing on a floor-by-floor basis as construction is completed, so of course it’s not fully occupied either.”
That’s a *&%^$$^ lie. The build id move in ready, has been since January. 75% EMPTY!!!
“Seriously — get your facts straight, whoever or whatever you are.”
My name is The What! And your name be…..?
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….

“somehow there has to be a better system than just market rate vs humanitarian concerns and homelessness because all of this really affects the economic health of the entire city.”
How about offering some concrete solutions? It’s easy to label something dysfunctional, but quite another to exact change in the real world.
What is The What, and why do we care?
What- you can borrow my pail and shovel 🙂
Whether or not he’s the real What or not, I’d rather concentrate on what he says- and his point is right. People (especially on this blog) tend to look down on renters because somehow the idea evolved that if you rent you aren’t as smart or as educated or as financially solvent as a homeowner. On the other hand (and I don’t know the percentages but I bet it’s a majority) of homeowners ae landlords. Add to that all the landlords with major rental holdings (residential), and it’s obvious that renters are the bread and butter of “owners.”
Unfortunately both groups have nearly always been pitted against each other- we all have horror stories on both sides. landlords see rentals as a money making business and renters treat their rentals as a home. It’s easy to see why they clash.
And for a very long time, as rents have been going up and up the impact is felt in many areas- those with the least resources become the most desperate, and each side uses whatever weapons they have (legal and economic,) and everyone loses money and time. somehow there has to be a better system than just market rate vs humanitarian concerns and homelessness because all of this really affects the economic health of the entire city.
I agree that this is still the fake What. After so many recent comments on his “too proper” grammar, the fake what is deliberately trying to sound illiterate. Sorry, it just doesn’t flow. Be original – try to get your attention on another board.
I think there’s a good chance this may be the real the What.
With the B’stoner curse filter on, and the What’s recent fame in, was it New York Magazine, this may be the What restyled with improved social skills.
And I offer points to the What for choosing to continue to participate in a civilized, if edgy, way.
Welcome back to the sandbox.
Nah. I hate to disagree with you all, but I do. I think this is, indeed, the What.
Ever try to write or draw like a five year old? Can’t do it, right?
It has something. It just HAS some little intangible thing that can’t be forged.
Same thing here. This is the What.
But why all the fuss about it? Let him be.
