I am of the mindset to remedy the problem vs reacting to the problem.

That tile wall got very cold during the winter months and believe me, I did not want to touch it with any part of my body.  

During that period I would bicycle through neighborhoods near my apartment, navigate around the occasional (occupied) but unattended body bag to look at abandoned industrial space that I could have picked up for $30/sf.  

I truly feel that the agent is reacting this way because he wants to make the sale, but now the seller is inquiring about this other possible route.

I was an auto body estimator for 5 years before my current job. 

About three days after I posted that, I went to turn on the cold water on that faucet, and the big nut that holds the cartridge into the faucet body broke. 

If it is F2F, maybe it is something about the body language and their eyes. 

Sure, and PROBABLY they'd stay, but I'm telling you, the majority of people will react to a rent increase as a splash of cold water in the face, "Huh, what??

Builders react the same way, slowing down - which is ironic, because the US is short 5 million new construction homes and until we fix supply, there will be upward pressure.

The general public needs a governing body to oversee this stuff to protect the public's interests.
