OK, obvious that Heller and Graham flamboyantly missed the message again. Suing "The City" is most EMPHATICALLY not suing Sayles Belton, Cherryhomes, or anyone like that. They will never lose a DIME when you sue "The City". If they are your grievance, confound it, sue them PERSONALLY! You think they break a sweat when you threaten to "sue the city"? Why would they? For one thing, they are so connected that even if it did cost them their job, they'd just go on to the better one waiting. When you "sue the city", you assure there will be even less funds for those "impacted" people you claim to care about. Morever, Ms. Heller, your implication that somehow it REQUIRES a breaking of law to trigger a lawsuit is absurd. You obviously never saw the Fazio and Green skits on Saturday Night Live. You know the ones where the people say "But I thought you had to have a CAUSE to sue". "Another common misconception". You think LSGI sued due to some law being broken. No, they had a legal department which saw how soft the city was and decided to slice some of that off for themselves. Don't EVER try to claim lawsuits in business are due to "wrongs". That isn't why businesses sue. They sue because they can. Bill Gates sues because he wants a reputation for the kind of toughness that will convince people not to MESS with Microsoft. I don't know if Ms. Heller is that naive, but I seriously doubt it. However, she might think some HERE are that naive. Well, a message to her: We aren't. Most people have learned thru bitter experience that civil law is just another weapon in business. And injustices are few and far between.
Celestial Cash?
Heller constructs another straw man, the idea that "money comes from heaven". She may believe that, but I doubt anyone else does. The fact is that when you run a business, the money comes from someone else's pocket, yet if you run a successful business, you end up making multiples of what you put in, and that aint "from heaven" either. There's thing called "the multiplier" that says a dollar gets spent over and over, and that recycling generates wealth. Invest $50,000 for twenty years at a modest rate of return and see if it remains $50,000. Did the extra money come "from heaven". How COULD it have multiplied itself so many times? Maybe if Heller is struggling, it is because of a basic lack of economic understanding.
33rd and Stinson
From my 11 years as a NE Mpls resident, I'd say that a property on the SWcorner of 33rd and Stinson is IN Minneapolis, not in St Anthony Village.
