And to the commenter who states that stranger writers post on their blog anonymously. It is their blog. If Vulcan wants to post anonymous comments then they should start their own Vulcanlife blog and they can post all they want. However to post anonymously on a condominiums blog pretending to be a resident after already reaping HUGE profits is a shameful thing.

I think that they are just afraid that their overpriced (IMHO) Enso, Rollins and Veer complexes might not sell as well if people have anything negative to say about a building that they have already built.

What does Vulcan care about more? Their customers or their bottom line?

its the sound of a few miniature violins playing a sad song for those idiots who would pay over a quarter of a million dollars for a studio condo at one of the noisiest and least living-friendly areas of downtown.

The culture he creates at Vulcan is secretive and full of vitriol -- it shouldn't surprise anyone that they'd stoop this low. I'm simply appalled that our fair mayor thinks partnering with this moron and his minions for South Lake Union was a good decision. Plus, a fucking street car? C'mon!

"EMP's not working, let's put in a science fiction museum!" = "Nobody likes the bus, let's put in a street car!"

Blah.

A few of the ridiculous complaints:

• Condo owners complaining about condo renters (who pay $1750+ a month for a studio) ruining the theater room with their wild parties


• Condo renters complaining about condo owners treating them like shit, even though they have just as much money as the owners


• Condo owners complaining about condo owners with nicer condos treating them like shit


• Lack of parking and other cars causing traffic in South Lake Union (shocking!)


• Against rules to barbecue on private balconies ("how does one entertain friends?")


• Front door is unlocked for HOURS at a time during construction -- major graffiti and burglary is inevitable!


• Cornish students across the street look THREATENING


• Closed-circuit TV viewable from home TV's isn't clear enough! You can't see pictures from the garage -- you have to take the elevator down to make sure your Land Rover is OK!


• Whole Foods doesn't sell condoms -- you have to drive all the way to Broadway QFC to get any! (Ignore the corner stores nearby -- too many black people)


• Too many niche shops in the 2200 complex -- green tea store, doggie treat place... (you have to walk, or drive, across the street to get a pedicure!!)


• You can see the riff-raff homeless from the balcony, bla bla bla...

I don't feel bad for these people at all. Please move back to Bellevue or Laurelhurst. There's nothing for you in an urban environment.
