I don't disagree with this sentiment, however, in my personal experience, having a little more vacancy is often a trade off I'm willing to make to get a high caliber tenant that is willing to pay the premium for a premium service/product. 

Interest rates, consumer sentiment, etc.  

Meaningfully different monthly payment.That’s how housing demand actually changes—not through sentiment, but through monthly math.

In my opinion it's way better to settle up with the GC and get them out of there so you can move on with your life.The key sentiment I want to conclude with is to keep tabs on a slowing project from the very beginning.

VA monitors and steps in when needed.We use Gemini to see what a room looks like with different furniture/decor before buying.We use a custom AI bot to write review removal appeals that actually work.We use ChatGPT to analyze competitor reviews to check sentiment and spot fake ones.What else am I missing?

Pressure-testing early feels less about killing deals and more about pricing risk correctly or structuring exits that still work if approvals come back tighter than expected.When you’re evaluating early entitlement risk, what signals do you weigh most heavily  staff feedback, precedent projects nearby, or political sentiment at the council level?

I think I would hold it for appreciation and because I'm sentimental of Exeter. 

I appreciate your sentiment as it relates to the systems of a multifamily property, it would be an area in which I think I can find real opportunity to add value that may be overlooked.

@Adam Macias would have to agree with this sentiment. 

Goldman Sachs highlighted that investor risk sentiment has reached its highest level since 2021, driven by improving global growth expectations and broad-based equity participation.
