I'm sorry that my attempt at levity regarding good food at the party did not sit well with someone.
Please don't misunderstand my presenting an alternate point of view as siding with the landlord.
What is foremost in my mind is the safety of my home, and on a less important note, seeing that George fulfills the promises he made when he first rented me the apartment.
However, I do want to make two points clear:

1.) I will not jump on any bandwagon without knowing the clear, unadulterated truth about what has happened to some of my fellow residents.

2.) George IS the owner of the building, and I believe it is his right to maintain the walls as he sees fit. However, to do so in an inconsiderate or nasty fashion, is unacceptable. He certainly seems to be showing insensitivity. Then again, what HAS he said regarding safety? Did he say that he's hiring security but that he needs more time? Did he say it's not his responsibility?
I guess I will find these things out at the party, and then we can, as a united group of tenants vote or decide or sign on what direction we want to go from there. Just a thought.

Now, now, don't take what I wrote the wrong way. I sincerely wish you good food and sincerely am glad that you feel alright. I apologize if you took it to be a malicious comment because I didn't mean it to be so. We're all friends here and you have every right to your opinion. In addition to wishing you good food, I wish you luck in getting all the answers you need. Enjoy the grub.

That is not the solution either. I am concerned because I want us all safe but I choose to remain calm for my own sanity. I didn't write that message but I relate to the guy/gal who did.

It almost sounds as if you are accusing everyone that wants to take some sort of action of jumping onto a "bandwagon" without thinking for ourselves. Although you have made some good points it seems as if you are saying that nothing as happened to you so it's not a bid deal yet. Maybe nobody has all the facts on every incident (I'm hoping that people will start posting their experiences so we will, but that hasn't happened yet), but I do know that several people have been mugged in a short period of time and that worries me enough to want something done. George has said that we are not getting a doorman/security guard. He said he would consider it if 26 apartments demanded it (he did not say whether or not that would involve a rent increase), but then he tore down the notice informing people of this. The petition was posted earlier last night (the wording of it). It may need some rewording so everyone can agree on it, but no one has suggested anything so far.
