Translation: we'll be getting rid of all the old tenants, 'upscaling' the apartments by tearing out every bit of individuality, putting up paper-thin sheet rock walls, laying cheap wood floors and installing crappy appliances, and offering the new "luxury" units to shallow shitheads at a price 10 times what the former tenants were paying. More and more of these egotistical narcissists fail to see the value of things that are perfectly fine the way they are, and wind up blithely destroying people's lives as a result, and the politicos who are supposed to be protecting their constituents from these vultures stand by and do nothing in the hopes of garnering campaign contribultions.

The original tenement looked just like the once on the south corner and had all the character the EV is know for. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
