It’s a strong market but there’s also a lot of gang problems and cultural tension in some areas.

It can create some tension, but that's why REI can be so lucrative, sometimes you have to do hard stuff that no one else wants to do.

You do have time and motivation and muscle, but sometimes these turn into a lot more work than meets the eye. 

As a property manager, creating a standard that establishes the trifecta of benefits and tension is good. 

So he pushed harder, put his shoulder into it, and he's a big guy, 6' and 240lbs of more muscle than flab, and he said he got further in that time, but he said that something pushed the door closed so hard that he fell back on the stairs, and all the lights went out for a few seconds, and he heard the door upstairs slam shut again.
