Unless of course the building is of some great historic significance, yes? Then I bet you would bear through it just to live there.

I'd probably think of some F-U gesture if I lived at the Dakota.

There are co-ops outside NYC? Ouch. At least it is better to be the Commissar rather than the Proletariat.

5 wounded, 2 dead according to police reports. The remainders of the proletarian active eco-militias have retreated into a large condo that smells of patchouli and are making demands regarding shower timers, the renaming of the complex as the Gramsci building and something about that ****** Ted from #5 getting his fat cow of a wife to stop sunbathing naked in the interior garden. The police plan to send Matt wearing pink glasses and some sort of protective gear to negotiate a cease-fire but a sub-negotiation has just started as he's requested that his vest be bespoke and offered in a colour other than black. An earlier incident about him guessing the muff of a female police officer has thankfully been diffused.

Other than one woman lecturing us on the drought and suggesting that we let the yellow mellow, it all went pretty well. Got done in under two hours.

Don't provide any food or drink.

Crank up the temp so people are drowsy and uncomfortable.

lol, I am an executive board member of a charitable organization and this is exactly how our Board works..

Well, all but the food, drink and temperature piece..

I have much experience with BoDs. The infighting can be bloody.

Believe me, I have first hand experience with this, one of my least favorite parts of my job is any sort of interaction of any kind with the BoD, as one usually ends up drawn into nightmarish political struggles that make almost every item horribly painful..
