Usually your taxed on the size of your property… Keep the 8 units and store, gut the almost fucking ACRE of shitty storage shack and make it extra parking or something… cant see how the city couldnt reduce you. ---

We can get back to Sketchy having his thread, but I will end with this for now… Schenectady does what Schenectady wants. I have beat the ass of many towns with logic… I had to rail on Schenectady on my Radio show for 3 shows before I got a call, and they got off my ass about some bullshit code related stuff… now, were on stable terms, but do not expect what you deserve in schenectady… expect what they want to give you… I finally swallowed that jagged pill after gettin a single win out of them… one that involved the mayors office contacting me… asking how they can help. Trust me, they will come back around for me when they get off the bar stool. ---
