I thought they were especially bad. For instance worse than toll brothers who I also would likely stay away from. I guess it’s better to have a company that like Khov or toll to go after if the house is a disaster rather than a fly by night contractor that throws up a sun division and then dissolves their corporation.

NJ.com is a sad shell of a reporting website that lost its way. It wants $10 a month to view click bait exclusives of random pizza joints that I would expect to see posted next to a quiz to figure out what Harry Potter character you are. Getting rid of the comments on the website was smart since the comments were so toxic but I wonder if they under estimated how many people that commented also shared content. Their aggressive, overpriced, subscription model, overzealous use of adds for non-subscription users and weaning amount of content has pretty much killed whatever usefulness they provided a year ago. It’s sad to see local journalism die. It’s even sadder to see it die into the the media equivalent of Sméagol hissing at is user base for its precious ad money.

I get they need to pay for local journalists but their content points to the ad dollars going to the executives who are hoping to hold on long enough to retire rather than anyone who is writing news articles. But I guess they used tableau once to look at the cops.

Do you have photos of the condition of the carpets when you moved out? Do you have photos when you moved in? Ask them how old the carpets were when you moved in and ask for proof. Depending on the age of the carpet you might also be able to argue that the carpets were at their replacement life and they tried to get you to pay for new carpets.
