Is it in your lease? Or is it new / does the lease say you can be subject to surprise fees at any time? I’ve never lived in a high rise but it seems weird to sign a contract then have someone spring new charges on you. (I’m also clearly not a lawyer.)

What’s your better idea(s)? Genuine question, not being sarcastic.

You are not an annoying obsessive nerd! It’s good to do your research. (I don’t have any answers for you but I hope others do!)

There’s a long tradition of “trolling” like this in activism! It’s another way to get attention and maybe/hopefully get people on your side.

Brilliant.

Moving into a community without being aware of even the broad strokes of issues and players important to that community (aka “politics”)? Then doubling-down on pretending giving platform to a billionaire’s AstroTurf group isn’t implicit endorsement?

Sounds about right!

(Last part not directed at you u/mooselimbscatlicks)

It’s the hypocritical and ill-informed moral panic and bullying of small business owners who would open a place that looks and runs basically like a pharmacy… for me. (And I don’t even smoke weed. I’m just so tired of this nonsense. Take that righteous energy and direct it at ANY other real problem this city has.)

It’s legal, zoning regulations exist. But these people get to subvert both of those things with their ignorant, entitled temper tantrum. (I’m not at all surprised, just pissed.)

Best part is, they’re all just making a temporary pit stop in JC to flip real estate and play at being cool parents (eyeroll) til their kids are school aged.

They shut down a small business (that sounds equity-minded) permanently, while in a couple of years they’ll fuck right back off to the suburbs they came from. (And brought their shitty self-centered attitudes from.)

You “know” charter schools are more selective? Charter schools in JC enroll students through lottery.

You could try to make a correlation about families that are informed or motivated enough to enter a lottery > being more involved in kid’s education > higher scores I guess. But that’s not the same as the schools cherry-picking their students.

u/jahooodie thank you for reminding me there are still reasonable and kind people in the world

All good, I misunderstood too :)

(A strike would be such a huge mess and inconvenience, I think people around here would get so pissed, so fast. Important to remember who the real enemy is!)

The PA and the people who would strike are not the same.

We know who and what you are advocates for. (And it’s not the well-being of the local community.)

“Advocates” 🙄

Thank you!

Thank you for this, exactly what I was looking for.

I see what you did there.

All of these + Kanibal (near city hall) has some nice “made in JC” gifty things.

Weird that this also hasn’t made it to NextDoor.

Thank you!
