I can see how you have these takeaways if you’re only viewing this situation in a vacuum, and are not familiar with the past actions and other figures involved. If you’re not convinced by Parts 1 & 2 yet, i at least encourage you to read Part 3 & 4 when they come out, as they deal with other shady things done by Lakey outside of this one contract. And I did cite some sources in the piece that reference norms in commercial real estate and leases (such as annual 3% monthly rent increase to account for inflation, as the previous CA President’s contract included)

It’s YOUR job to provide a compelling argument. You have not done that. It is not my job to be convinced by your flimsy evidence. I know you think you have a smoking gun. I can assure you that you do not.

Rents move and down all the time, especially in the commercial market.
Inflation riders are preferred but not universal.

There is simply no proof here that Lakey acted in bad faith.

The fact that you’re not open to objective feedback just proves you have underlying motives and aren’t really interested in discovering the truth.

Which is fine (especially since you posted it to a site that promotes conspiracy theories), but just know that your opinion will just keep being marginalized because everyone will continue to not take you seriously.

That’s a fine takeaway to have, though many others do find the evidence presented in this blog to be quite damning, and perhaps the future parts will make you feel the same way

And I’m not sure how you could say I’m not open to feedback, when I’m reading your feedback, and engaging honestly with it

Yes the “evidence” is quite damning if you’re on the extreme right and already prone to believing in conspiracy theories.

Multiple people have already told you your evidence is flimsy and you continue to post the same things over and over again.

Giving corporations sweetheart deals to the tune of $1 million+ is quite conservative, actually. Holding corporate greed and corruption accountable is the heart of the modern progressive movement, in fact

And again, you have not proven that this was a sweetheart deal without providing comps. Please provide comps.
