So conflicted about stories like this because people shouldn't give in to entitled asshole companies, but it is also selfish to stand in the way of increasing #UrbanDensity.

@mikemccaffrey An easy solution to this is rent control. Suddenly nobody's beating down Capote's door, since they can't make money on it anymore! Once the desperate corporates can't get away with their crimes, the area can be developed for higher density by the public government, with Capote's participation.
Or not, since as you say, why build huge apartments in a flood zone?
@mikemccaffrey Should add this is a hotel not apartments, and anyone building a *hotel* has thereby revoked their right to exist. There's no increasing urban density here, just grift and tyranny.
@mikemccaffrey@pdx.social@cy But hotels are supposed to be the ethical alternative to AirBnB since they don't take housing units off the market!
