I have chosen to remain calm regarding this situation. Firstly, I was fortunate enough not to have been one of the victims. Second, I am a bit unclear as to exactly how many incidents have occurred, and what were their exact nature. I have heard different, contradictory versions of what's been going down. My heart goes out to anyone that was either harmed (physically or financially) or intimidated; there's nothing more disturbing than feeling that "home" is not a safe place. I'm definitely keeping an extra eye open while walking around, but for my own sanity, I cannot comfortably adopt a paranoid, angry state of mind.
George is a businessman. He wants to rent the remaining apartments (yes, people are still checking them out), and he doesn't want to lose any existing tenants. Trust me, with the amount of debt he's in (this place cost about $4 million), deep inside he WANTS this to work as much as we do. (I would think). But I think if I felt attacked and cornered and bullied by 45 or so tenants, even I might take a "back the fuck off, this is MY place" kind of attitude. He is a family man, and a self-made businessman. I think if we convey the SERIOUSNESS of the victims' experience, and our concerns, in a calm, mature manner, we can definitely make this a building and neighborhood worth living in. SHIT, moving is tiresome and expensive, you know? See ya at the party. And despite the somber nature of the situation, I hope there's good food. In conclusion, I'm glad we're all communicating and spreading concern and support. Count me in.
