It got quite irritating.

And irritate the construction unions?!

Most ant-gentrification rhetoric usually stems from toxic identity politics.

You have very right to be irritated, they sound like a PITA....

Probably the best place in the state to have owned during the downturn.there were times were big investment houses would not buy NPN  in MI  OH and a few other states.. they were toxic assets.. we see a nice rebound now in Detroit and its nice to see that happen.. so wishing for a replay or recession that would cause real estate values to go down significantly so that a few can pick up deals..

(Low VOC Caulk only)(5) No loud music, use earpods only.(6) No personal use of toilet or sinks or tubs in unit.(7) Pour no solids or liquids down toilets, sinks or tubs.(8) Unit must be broom clean at end of job.It's possible trim and doors will last twice as long as wall paint.It's possible painters charge about the same for the trim and doors as the walls.Some painters spray, some brush some roller-- when painting tell adjoining units to close windows ahead of time to prevent dead birds, fish, other pets (or babies)--some primers (and cabinet paint) can be highly toxic and are not low VOC.Good Luck!

Yeah- there's nothing so irritating in the creative RE world as all the invented terms floating around.
