I love(hate) the part where they were like can you move the existing poors (renters) elsewhere to reduce the height.

Im sure if the city wanted to be entrepreneurial here they could find away around that.

It may also just make it easier to dismiss this as how does a no asset corp have standing.

Got married and we're moving to a place that can't handle all the stuff we both have. We each had to do some closet cleaning, so in the shuffle, I had to make my choice.

It's easy to get digital versions of most comics and books, so that's why I gave them up.

Made a mistake. Those werent 1st generation chagres, but 2nd generation. That is the second round of DCs after the intitial legislation went into effect.

Still horrible if you consider thats from 2003 to 2005

I have to say this is disappointing.

Despite their pleasant-sounding name, CBCs are nothing more than an "apartment tax" because that is what they *exclusively* apply to.

No other housing form pays this tax. Based on their discriminatory nature, on that basis alone, they should be ditched.
