"The 485 Marin rents are 19 to 33 percent higher than the "good faith estimate" of rents submitted to the council in 2015 when the project's 20-year tax break was approved. Then, the rents were estimated to range from $990 and $1,643.
Spokeswomen for the city and for KRE Group declined to comment on the change."

what makes this a particularly renter sentiment? I think the Prato kerfuffle was divided among those who lived adjacent to them and those who did not.

a LOT has been happening at the JC Falcon nest this week!
the other three eggs never hatched, and the lone hatchling was doing poorly. meanwhile, over at the Goethals Bridge, demolition work uncovered a nest full of baby falcons. the decision was made to rehome those falcons in Jersey City, and remove the lone puny hatchling for care. http://www.conservewildlifenj.org/education/falconcam/

I love that they kept the windows and general integrity of the exterior.
with all of that architectural inspiration, I am surprised at how boring the interiors are.

if you do agree to let your neighbor put it in (and/or if you put one in yourself), make sure the exhaust points outward, onto the street or back yard.
there's a big A/C compressor on my roof, and the blast of heated exhaust it creates makes half of the roof uninhabitable. I'm a renter, as is the business who installed the A/C. I really wish the landlord had thought of this when giving the go-ahead.

it's actually the opposite of literal. it is figurative. first, they died of machine-gun fire (not bayonettes). the earliest victims of the massacre were Polish military officers who were instructed not to resist the Russians, and were rounded up and imprisoned for their efforts. it was a huge betrayal, in addition to being a war crime. they were "stabbed in the back" in the figurative sense.

a Prato on 4th street will be a welcome addition to that neighborhood, which has been one dining establishment short since Madame Claude relocated. a business leaving isn't always a cause for alarm. if Prato is vacating Erie Street, they leave behind a wonderful space for a new cafe, while the village gains a great new place.

will they actually plant it this time, though? the renderings for the original plaza promised a lot more greenery than what was delivered. I love our little slice of walkability, but it isn't nearly what it could be, in terms of aesthetics.

such an awful idea. study after study shows that more roads = more cars on the road. this bridge will ease traffic for a short time, before commuters go, "oh hey, a new way to drive!" and get back into their cars. downtown will be a clusterf*ck, and there's no putting that genie back into the bottle.

My gang has had consistently great care with Dr. Buchholtz at JC Animal Hospital on Westside.
Even though I live a block away from Downtown Vet, I had one too many unpleasant experiences with Dr. Tudor to even consider going back. It's worth the time and the expense (of a Lyft or Zipcar) to haul my crew all the way over to Westside.

I've got no dog in this fight, as I'm a renter. but I do feel for my long-time neighbors who planned on retiring here, and will now probably have to sell. good for them for getting squillions on a home they bought for very little, decades ago. but it's a big bummer to have to uproot yourself in your golden years, just because you are now sitting on a hot property. likewise, if my landlord has to double my rent, he'll lose a known tenant who's been trouble-free for years. instead he'll have to deal with someone new, who might make extra demands in line with market-rate rent, yet he'll have no extra $$ in the bank in exchange for that headache. yes, of course he can sell. but he too was planning on retiring here, so please refer to paragraph one of my post.

I was super-bummed to see that Zipcar removed their electronic fleet from First Street. the row of chargers is still there. might as well encourage more EV use.
