Insulting Potential Buyers Is A Hell Of A Way To Sell Condos

Ben Lanka has a story on the lack on condominium sales at The Harrison. It’s worth reading but the quote that caught my eye came from Bill Martin who’s in charge of selling the units. In the JG story he points to change being the culprit for the slower sales.
Martin said the condominium project represents a new product in the Fort Wayne market, and sometimes people are hesitant to change.
“You can’t force them to sign a contract,” he told the council. “We’re going to do whatever it takes to get this to happen.”
He actually went even further in describing the problem of change and in my opinion insulted the entire city of Fort Wayne - watch for yourself.
Instead of insulting the citizens of Fort Wayne perhaps the brains behind The Harrison should look in the mirror since they seem to have priced themselves out of the market…

Is that the guy who writes the Change Fort Wayne blog? I always thought that blog was an insult because there are those of us who are trying to change Fort Wayne in our own way… more at an individual level though. If not it’s of the same thought pattern.
Yeah, living downtown sounds cool, but I prefer the country and nature. It’s not a matter of change to me. I can drive home down beautiful St. Joe Road and suddenly see a 12-point buck in a full sprint in a semi-arc toward my car but at a safe distance. That is something wild and fun I’ll never see living downtown.
Change is evolutionary - not slam, bam, thank you ma’am.
At least not in Fort Wayne.
