Sapper Since: Jun 10 216 Columbus, OH	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Sep 10, 2010 Judged: 1 1 Hahahaha, and they want a levy passed. That's cute.
say da truth United States	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Sep 10, 2010 Judged: 1 1 1 Landlord? More like a baby sitter for all the kids that are dumped there by their lazy parents. "Do you have a library card? Whose your daddy?" Overdue
LiberalConservat ive “Look-out!” Since: Dec 09 117 Columbus	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Sep 10, 2010 Judged: 1 Those are well run apartments, Roxanne and the maintenance guys do a great job and I enjoyed my 3 years there.
DrC Ohio Reynoldsburg, OH	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Sep 10, 2010 Judged: 1 1 1 Sounds like a way they (and other nonprofits) could raise a little bit. Smart idea. Nonprofits are going to have to start thinking of ways in which they can raise money outside grants and major donors.
Colin Columbus, OH	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Sep 10, 2010 Judged: 1 1 1 I have lived in these apartments in the past, and they are great for CSCC, CCAD, Capital Law school, Franklin University, and others in that part of the city. Without these buildings there would be no other place to live within blocks of the area. I'm glad they are not torn down, if they were it would further decline an area already struggling by parking lots and unsavory individuals.
ramseyjames Bellefontaine, OH	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Sep 10, 2010 I would say that REAL NON-PROFITS do not exist. This is just another organized scam to get out of paying their fair share of taxes. I would like for someone to show me a NON-PROFIT that does not make a profit, and pay their administrators ridiculous salaries!
