Cameras will not work unless there is someone watching the images...even if it actually RECORDS images, they will only be useful after something happens. Real cameras, pointing down the streets and at the doorways, with a guard watching, is best. Fake cameras might act as a deterrent, but they also might serve to alienate the community more from the building. And the thought of cameras in the hallways freaks me out...who will be able to see me throw out my trash, sing to my dogs, have a conversation or pee on the floor (just kidding.) The real issue for me is the walk from the train at night. Even in the daytime, it is depressing. At night it is nerve wracking. And Pella can't do anything about that.

Tearing notices off the wall, and knocking on doors to scold tenants for posting notes, is unacceptable. It is a breach of privacy, at best. At worst, it is censorship and abuse of power.

Obviously, Pella feels threatened by all of this. And I feel that this could spiral out of control. Pella is manipulative, and we need to beat it at its own game. A party on Pella's dollar is just an opportunity for us all to get together. I think that a formal boycott of the party is a war cry. (Of course, if I had been spoken to harshly by the landlord I would want him to fuck his party...so more power to you.) Are folks thinking of leaving the building? What is Pella really afraid of...losing tenants?
