That weekend, I got a drunken phone call from the tile guy (who'd clearly fallen off the wagon), cursing me out because, in my absence, one of my lesser-skilled laborers had put a miter saw on top of the stove and to make cuts, getting sawdust on and inside the stove (stupid, I know).

The last gentrifying area I bought into had just selected a winning developer, the contract award came with City approved plans for the developer to build out a combination of 2,600 new SFR's Condo's, For-Rent Apartments, and a Senior project, with some affordable units sprinkled into the mix to appease the local politicians for gentrifying the area and forcing the poor out, there was also a Whole Foods, Target, and others retailers committed.
