To that end, I wish it were a coop instead of a condo so that more apartments would be owner occupied and not just investment vehicles.<br /><br />I'd much rather see something more affordable or (even better) see the people who were displaced by the explosion resettled into the new buildings. When I checked out the prices on that new building with the Target, the market studio apartment was more than my mortgage and fees for our 2-br in a coop building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-3251011376789244682018-06-12T12:49:14.959-04:002018-06-12T12:49:14.959-04:00Boring

Or maybe Blandification House. <br /><br />Meanwhile, three years later, Maria Hyrnenko and her cronies are still awaiting trial, with no word on what ever really happened to her son Michael, who ran out of the building right before it exploded, ony to die mysteriously last September at the age of 31. Even his obituary on his funeral page quickly disappeared once word got out to the media. What all the secrecy? We know that Michael was facing a DUI charge from the previous February. We know how Moises and Nicolas died in that gas explosion. The circumstances of their deaths was no secret. The last thing thay probably saw was some guy running out of the sushi restaurant before the building exploded, and not warning anyone about the danger And then it was over. Why does Hyrnenko’s son get treated so differently? Oh I know, to protect the good name of the Hrynenko family. What a joke that is now, but no one is laughing.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.com
