Anonymous, We have 90 units, and have over ten SH in the building who have lost thier jobs or clients... and are cutting back: no more Cable TV, high electric bills... We also, within the last three months, have ten apartments on the market, that are not selling.

Except for your email, there was an intellegent discussion on how to save money. We have no intention of fireing anyone, but if cutting back on the Supers perks, (which add up to close to $1000 month) will help us keep a porter or help a SH,,,than the board will have to make hard decisions.

Perks dont make or keep a good Super. As for keeping a good Super, our present Super was living with his famlily in a basement with no healthcare etc.... he has landed in heaven. Our last three "good Supers" who got all the perks,,,abused thier postion and were fired for lazyness, stealing and one, because the SH were afraid of him -- and demanded that he be fired ....etc.

If you dont have a good ideas, please dont join this discussion. These are serious times, and we are all making sacrifices...
