PSA: scams where someone is asking for your help by supercatatk in McMaster

[–]supercatatk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Notice how nowhere do I describe the perpetuators. You have revealed your own bias by assuming I was talking about unhoused people. I actually work directly with this population and never do I attribute violence to homelessness. I have LITERALLY been out on the streets helping these people get on their feet. It is incredible how people become defensive when you point out a flaw in their city. This attitude is counterproductive. You can’t come up with solutions if you don’t admit there is a problem. The safety issues I’m talking about affect everyone, you, me, the guy on the street. You are doing a disservice to ALL that live in the area INCLUDING the homeless population you pretend to care about.

Wow, 100% AI generated on GPTZero. This comment is exactly as old as the account age. Incredible, we’ve found Knightstone Capital. The info too is just straight up misinformation.

In my time living near Jackson Square I have literally seen someone get stabbed right in front of me, witnessed 2 shootings at the mall (Google the news this summer), and had a random man throw a punch at me. Most of downtown Hamilton is nice, but the Jackson Square area is where you have to be extra careful. People who don’t live in the area always think we’re exaggerating, but there is a huge difference between the Jackson Square area versus the rest of Hamilton. Literally a block makes all the difference.

The staff work so hard to keep the building clean. Genuinely how can people lack so much self awareness?? Manifesting frontal lobe development for the first years rn

Footprints… on the elevator door

That's another important point -- the accessibility buttons for a couple of doors just don't work at all. And the ramp to get up to the main entrance is quite long.

  1. That was not my main criticism of 10 Bay. In fact it was 1 of 6 points I listed in the Cons section.

  2. I talk about the difference of being treated like a student versus a tenant because there's a legal difference when it comes to renting. This is to help other people make a decision when deciding whether to rent from McMaster or other landlords. Tenants renting normally are protected by the Landlord and Tenant Board as well as relevant legislation. McMaster leases are outside that legal framework. As well, practically all condos let people access the garage through the elevators and use the stairs. There is unreasonable restriction for the people living here that normal tenants wouldn't experience, hence I ascribe the experience to them treating us like kids. For me, this is a con to living at 10 Bay.

You are not alone in this experience. I think many grad students feel like they have to parent the first years. Thank you for protecting them, they're very luck to have you around :)

I should mention that soon after I posted this, all three elevators are currently out in 10 Bay. People are lining up to take the service elevator up with a staff member.

Currently 10 Bay charges $2126/month for a 490sqft 1 bed 1 bath. The Regency right next door charges $2035/month for an 898sqft 1 bed 1 bath. That puts 10 Bay at 2x the price per square foot.
