Isn't that how reputation and trust in relationships works though? Difficult and slow to build, but quick to destroy, and even harder to gain back a second time.
Slander - the utterance of false charges or misrepresentations which defame and damage another's reputation. I'd use the statement "slander everything they have done" carefully. Stating that a company has left multiples sites in poor condition for a numbers of year, which is a fact, is a far cry from spreading falsehoods that damages a reputation. In fact, I think they have done enough on their own to damage their reputation by leaving various sites in poor, potentially unsafe condition that is an overall detriment to the community for the past several years. By ignoring that Regency has left the sites in the condition that they have, which is quite poor, it possibly could enable other developers to accept that that is an acceptable standard to leave their sites in as well.
yes, development is a very difficult business. so is being a restauranteur. or an oil field supply firm. or a senior's facility operator. or just about anything else if you want to do it well.
Thanks for the explanation on development....but they aren't investing...that's the problem. They are holding onto land in prominent areas that have overall negative contributive impact on the community with large pools of water, broken concrete and rebar sticking out, and chain link fences that have fallen over in some cases. You're giving them a pass on that because they've developed before? Here are some solutions, if they aren't going to develop the land, put nice hoarding that is decorated by local artists, or make it a temporary park with benches. Other developers like Alldritt seem perfectly capable to do exactly this, Regency can as well they just choose not to. Yikes, this screams "good enough" attitude.
Hey guys, why get into a polarized argument like the current politics (gong show that we can all take less of). You can probably both agree that the company has invested a lot and added to the built environment in Edmonton. You can also probably agree that there are at least two sites that have been left in poor condition which is disappointing, especially due to their prominent locations and the time left in said condition.
