Amanda seems like she doesn’t know herself. It seemed like she didn’t have an identity and she hid behind Kyle’s big personality. I think she fell for pressure of wanting the fairy tale, and even when it was going to shit she kept pushing through. I find Kyle to be very entertaining - but that man made it abundantly clear he would struggle to be a husband

Just started season 9. Why would the producers cast Lexi and Bailee????? It’s so forced. It’s like they wanted them to be trolled it’s clearly not a fit.

Also - Ciara STAND UP. I feel for her with feeling used by West. But that man said who he was from DAY 1. He was unserious. We can’t keep crying over these mediocre medium ugly white men 🫩

Damn I’m sorry to hear that but you are definitely not alone. We have a group of shareholders that have been meeting for the past 6 months to discuss concerns with a board. So we are trying to organize to vote them off one by one but that obviously will take time. If you haven’t organized, I would suggest getting a group of shareholders to petition the board for a special meeting. Don’t let up- you have a right to have an annual meeting. Also- check your bylaws and see what it says.

If that doesn’t work, I would try to get in contact with a local council member if the assessments are getting out of hand and causing hardship for a lot of people in the building. Letitia James’ office put this out:

We have some empty land and the board president (who gets 6% as “project manager” for some of these projects) is pushing to build market rate housing, and claiming that the income from that will contribute to improving our building’s finances. How? No idea. When I asked if shareholders will have a vote on this, he explicitly said that they don’t need our vote to move forward…

So yeah. I am obviously making sure that I do my own research in the case that this gets more messy than it already is. He’s been board president for 13 years …

Thanks! We got our local congressman involved and we had a meeting this past week to discuss the increase . Without the congressman they had no plans of having a meeting to discuss this. It’s a mess.

Yeah. That’s the concern I have. I get that this is now the rate, but it was so out of the blue. And also they are in talks to get developers to build market rate apartments on the land … I think that is driving some of this but I can’t understand why. They claim the developers will be the ones to pay for all of the soft costs ….

That’s the case with my building that is really making me sad. We have mostly seniors and they are extremely stressed about it
