I'm having trouble getting a read -- did this person flake just this one time, or will this be a pattern? 

The answer is I want to see a pattern of accountability. 

To me, these anecdotes are more than just isolated tales of misery and woe - they illustrate patterns of behavior, influence, persuasion, rationalization and more across all of the REI market, and that's just fully fascinating.

We did the diamond pattern just to spruce it up a little bit.

It could be a median killing the center, traffic patterns changing, or even just the building has a small parking lot.

Many started off well and then fell into a pattern of paying late and paying the late fee.

My thoughts are that as Atlanta economy is thriving many who have been renting can now afford to buy.Anyone noticing a similar pattern in your area/playing ground

You'll get some comfort from looking at a graph of historical top tax levels - https://bradfordtaxinstitute.com/Free_Resources/Federal-Income-Tax-Rates.aspxAside from obvious extreme hikes  for WWs 1 and 2 and Korea and Vietnam (seeing a pattern here) and paying for the New Deal in the Great depression - Tax rates haven't changed that much since the tax code went into effect in the early 1900s.Since 1980 ish it's been relatively unchanged around an axis through 3 democratic and 4 republican administrations. 

It is close enough to the city and its traffic patterns are not bad, crime is present but not extreme in the area.  

If this charge is 'one of' and they got things worked out, well, hope it keeps up.If there's a pattern, I would not renew the lease.
