I meant to say "Rental property owners" and "Too general".
Keith Reitman NearNorth I said: Sadly, no matter how many landlords might speak up; the opinion of a non-landlord is needed by others to give credibility to the fact that "slumlord" is a destructive term, and inflammatory. Does this paradigm demonstrate extant disenfranchisement of **property owners** in the hood? I do not feel comforted when some folks shout, 'slumlord' and then hasten to add, but we do not mean you. If it is necessary to say, 'but we do not mean you' , the term is **to general**. 'Keep it on the real' ...is an expression around Jordan. If a person exhibits bad behavior; call him on it. If he is a criminal charge him; and follow through as fairly as possible. REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
