I feel so proud when I read of people fighting tooth and nail with BG and getting the apartments they're entitled to. Good work, peoples.

I did what I always say not to do, call after having sent an email 10 minutes earlier -- and I was told that over the phone and that an email would follow.

I don't have the energy to be upset /dont want to bum people out on here who are hearing good news so I just decided to take a break from the forum /thread /"gang" before I turn into Aquarius

Congratulations to the recent victors

Wait, I thought you were on the waitlist--now they're saying you're not even on that?? Man, these people! Toying with people's emotions. I totally understand taking a break, sorry to hear that

Aww Manner you aren’t bumming people out but it does indeed suck BUT do what you need to do be it stepping back for a break or forever. Take it easy my friend and wishing you the best of luck in all future endeavors.

Oh, I mean, semantics, I guess I am technically wait-listed, because Im not denied (officially, they ran out of apartments) - Does every building keep a wait-list? I have no idea. Hunters Point (which Im also out of, by the way *income*) kept a wait list because they have thousands of apartments and tens of thousands applicants. Ashland might do direct marketing for affordable units after lease up completes but that is all just speculation on my part.

I persisted and persisted and didn't leave the BG folks alone until our application reached HDC, and of course once it reached HDC in early October, they got backlogged with lower log number applications and put ours on hold for a month. It was pure agony. But man when we finally got THE CALL it felt like we had truly overcome a drawn out traumatic experience.

Marshabrady I really think you still have a good chance. We also had a lot of setbacks and had to repeal twice with BG. It just took a lot of effort to see this through. You guys still have a shot. Keep the hope alive.

Good luck everyone!
**** YEA! Potted, CONGRATS !!!

Ah, ok. I have no idea how any of that works but technically you're not out of the game so there's still a chance. I'll say a prayer someone decides to up and move to Newark or something and they call you up

And congratulations to Potted4!!!
