If you are a heavy stepper, your downstairs neighbours will appreciate it. I absolutely detest hearing my upstairs neighbours stomp around and if I had an opportunity, I would pay them to install this padding.

How do these land assemblies work? Does the developer just go door to door pestering people with above-FMV offers until they relent? Hard to imagine a block of 10 separate townhouse owners all agreeing to sell at once.

Tons of bogus plan of subdivision applications were submitted in late-2020 to safeguard against Inclusionary Zoning.

And how many couples making a combined $300K+ want to live in a 622 square foot cookie cutter condo. These prices are asinine.
