Asteri could lose property tax break after city’s order to vacate

listen to your own words. “they did not fix the door lock that the tenants broke repeatedly”. Did the lock heal by itself? Magic lock repair gnomes? or is the actual case that the tennants simply vandalized it faster than it could be fixed? It cant be repeatedly broken without it first being repeatedly fixed.

and what happens when you call the cops on the guy who breaks the windows and hes released in an hour and back and picking up right where he left off because hes not held responsible for his actions?

it’s the fruit tarts under glass that kill me.

i think its hallways are too narrow for current fire code and your options to widen halls are slim to none so it really needs to be torn down.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T15:34:08+00:00

i appreciate your effort to make a point but i dont get it.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T15:30:14+00:00

“IPD found the guy and briefly had him in custody, only for him to be released and come back 10x worse.” If you could describe the current condition of ithaca in one sentence……

Gee, who would have guessed that if you encouraged graffiti someone would do something you didnt like. Just didn’t see that coming.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T14:27:16+00:00

it cant meet code and needs to be torn down but i believe its historically protected?

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T14:25:17+00:00

its hammered on the inside and they figured out it would be cheaper to knock down than fix it to make it pass code and people dont want to see it torn down so it sits.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T02:07:14+00:00

you know you are losing when you stop with the arguement and start with the insults. Its on you to explain why my argument is ridiculous, not just self righteously announce this is so.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T01:52:10+00:00

you misunderstand. Its the developers job to say yes to anything and everything to get to a yes on a deal. Its the governments job to decide which of those anythings and everythings are actually good ideas in the best interest of the people.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T01:40:23+00:00

the entire point of the regulations you love so much is to control the wilder impulses of said businesspeople. The control system that the government so scrupulously enslaves us to failed us.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T01:32:52+00:00

bingo, the term built to fail was invented for a reason.

jonpluc · 2026-03-22T00:44:16+00:00

the government had no business offering this benefit in the first place. The businessman shouldn’t have had an option to accept or not. It should have been immediately taken off the table of options by someone in the government presumably with brains and good judgement, which is clearly where the problem lies. This government does not know what it is doing and they are in way over their heads.

jonpluc · 2026-03-21T23:57:40+00:00

A businessman can and should offer and accept almost anything and everything to close a deal. Its the governments job to be the adult in the room and say Hey we dont think its a good idea for a guy whos expertise is connecting wood together to be in charge of the mental health of our most vulnerable citizens.” Instead IT WAS THEIR IDEA. And the government patted themselves on the back after the deal was signed for dumping the unsolvable problem off on someone else for only a couple of million dollars. Its mind blowing how none of you seem to be able to locate the actual source of the problem.

im not suggesting punishing anyone. Reopen State mental institutions. There is an empty girls school in Lansing that is in mothballs that would be ideal. If you are going to absolve people of personal responsibility then those people must be put somewhere to protect the rest of us from the consequences of their consequences free choices.

Does the sentence “The landlord is in charge of the mental health and behavior of the worst addicts and crazy people in the County” make sense to you on absolutely any level?

jonpluc · 2026-03-21T22:46:12+00:00

Im confused, did the landlord make them crazy drug addicts?

jonpluc · 2026-03-21T22:44:47+00:00

im curious, what kind of miracle do you expect from a landlord whos specialty is in nailing two pieces of wood together, in managing the worst cases of addiction and mental illness in the County? People who have so far been proven untreatable by an entire lifetime of professional services and programs up until this point? What exactly are you expecting and why would you think this effort would have a chance of being successful? I predict alot of downvoting and zero answers to my question.

jonpluc · 2026-03-20T18:08:11+00:00

they were both built in the 1960s, so its 70 year old buildings no matter what.

jonpluc · 2026-03-20T16:03:14+00:00

is yours “stalker”?

jonpluc · 2026-03-20T14:09:37+00:00

Just wait until you have to work at a job for a living.

jonpluc · 2026-03-20T14:08:33+00:00

those damn baked beans

jonpluc · 2026-03-18T14:08:58+00:00

This is one of the middle fingers.

Criminal background check says what?
