from JPP:

Alas the time has come, Last week, at the church next
door, I found out that the owner of our building has a
developer called Madison Park. They are planning on
demolishing the building and putting in 58
condo's(what they call single family units). Each one
is comprised of 1 car garage,1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1
living room, 1 kitchen/dinning room, 1 10 foot back
yard. Each unit will be selling for $400k. The
landlord, snuck this one up on us so we wouldn't have
a chance to fight it.

At the meeting at the church next door, it became
apparent that the developement company and the
landlord would make a killing on this deal. The city
has already Ok'd a similar plan they had regarding a
piece of property acrossed the street, for 16units.
To them it was all about money. They didn't even
bother to let anyone in the neighborhood know about
it. The people from the church were furious as were
many of us here in the building.

We are going to join forces with the church and make
sure it doesn't happen. The church will have endless
parking problems and we will be out of our finally
well established community, within the year. There is
no plan for any eco-friendly construction, this
project is all about money, and these developers have
eye'$ of dollar sign$.

The Landlord owns 2 companies that I know of,
1- Bathology (they sell cheap glycerine soaps with
little toys in them)

2- Thai Kitchen (they sell cheap pesticide processed
food from Thailand, which can be found in your local
Supermarket.)

We need solidarity,
Please boycott these Products,
