Drop your letters with the current residents and post the info on the lobby bulletin board if there is one.  

I don't go out to eat unless a friend invites me and says they are paying, I rarely buy new clothes, and I go to the movies maybe once or twice a month, and that's to the cheap theater where I only pay $2, and I don't buy any food there.

Yes same reason they lobby against uber.

I see more and more neighborhoods get demolished, one major and I think is still on-going was UCLA area that had 50 year old movie theater and older surrounding buildings, one day i drove down was taped around, next time was nothing left but trees.
