The Leader published an article this evening on the shift to paid parking at Heights Marketplace. The shopping center is located at 428-516 W 19th St. County records indicate the property is owned by Asana Partners. The Leader's article reports JLL a the owner. However, someone affiliated with JLL referred to themselves as the property manager to The Leader. The article doesn't make clear which company owns the shopping center. Regarding the addition of paid parking, The Leader reports this: Following a barrage of complaints and meetings with parking program officials, the assessment was temporarily stalled and the signs sleeved. After further discussion, the program conceded a 2-hour grace period, which has still not alleviated the angst it has caused. The article interviews several tenants and businesses utilizing the UPS store. All are dismayed not only by the parking meters, but rent increases over the last few years.

Oh, it's you again. Hi, @Ross. I see someone's cranky again. Why don't you have a Snickers? How strange that you continue to have a problem with everything I post. Yet, somehow you don't direct that same rude and nasty energy you have for me towards ALL the other members who do and post the same things? Hmm... I wonder why? I notice when other people post multiple permits posts, as @hindesky does as often as I do, you don't have a problem. But here you are being rude when I do it. I post different zoom level of Google Maps screenshots in one post when I create a topic, that gets your dusty undies in a bunch. However, when @hindesky posts the same maps, same diagrams, same renderings from each planning commission meeting over and over again, there's not a single peep from you. No posts about how annoying it is of him to post the same exact things over and over. No old man griping at all. But me? I'm a problem for you. I post a rendering, you complain that I didn't get permission to post it. Then you proceed to gripe about me posting said rendering to Imgur instead of linking to it. Yet, when other members like @Urbannizer, @ChannelTwoNews, @Paco Jones, @hindesky, and others do the very same thing, there's no rude commentary from you. Nothing from you about how they didn't receive permission to post renderings. It's hypocritical of you. Worse, it's becoming borderline harassment. It's also becoming crystal clear to me that anything I do, you take an issue. To heck with others who do the same thing - or post the same amount. They're A-okay with you. But l do the same, and here you go... Guess what? Oh well that I and the things I post are annoying to you. You annoy me too, but you don't see me quoting your annoying posts and then proceeding to rant about you being an annoyance (this post excluded, obviously?). So, if you don't like what I contribute, you're free to keep it moving to the next post. Better yet? The forum provides a block option. Utilize it and add me to your block list. Problem solved. But what I won't keep doing is derailing topics by going back and forth with you.
