Back when Alley Katz was around, there was street parking under those trees. There used to be hundred, maybe thousands, of birds that would migrate there and poop all over your car.

You could ask your landlord to end your lease early with no penalty provided you find a replacement tenant. You could explain you are not happy overall and would like to leave the situation on good terms and this solution would be fair to both of you.
At the end of the day the landlord really wants it rented and a new tenant would sign a longer lease than what you are currently signed up for.

It’s a private industry making money off people that would die on that hill. Let the MLB invest in their um “investment” they profit from

Oh, my old church used to be in that area. I've been saying for the past few years that once that drone center was operational the land value would skyrocket and the area would gentrify. Wasn't expecting 80% in one year though...

That’s not really how net worth works… “estimated net worth” just means appraised value of all properties and assets. Wealthy people do not usually keep a whole lot in the way of liquid assets (cash, gold, etc). Whatever is liquid, is likely slated to be spent on upcoming bills/payrolls/cost of living expenses. Very rich people tend to live on “relatively” tight budgets.
Yes, he could easily mortgage a property or something but I’m just trying to say it’s not necessarily that cut and dry. Charles Johnson doesn’t have 6.1 billion sitting in the bank.

Appreciate your advice and knowledge. It is not that type of heating system.

Unfortunately the city's not an endless supply of money. The franchisee should pay for it, it's not like people who live here get free tickets to the games. If McDonalds was going to close the store on Broad and 18th St unless they spent $3.5M in renovations would you support the city giving them the money too?

Now, I don't know anything about the building you are in, but if its a larger one there is the possibility that your place is on hydronic heating and cooling (water based). If it is, in the cold months, the system will be hooked up to a boiler and can only provide heat. In the warmer months, it will be hooked up to a chiller and can only provide cool air. If it is that type of system, that "cold air" is really just the fan circulating air in the room. The problem is, you can't just simply switch these types of system from hot to cold in an instant, which is why they'll only do the change once a year. I've been in a bunch of places with these types of systems over the years, and while they are efficient, they suck when there's the unexpected hot days in winter, and really cold days at the end of the summer. I imagine there was some grumblings by the VCU students and staff today about this, since several of their buildings use this type of climate control.
If it is this type of system, your choice is to use a fan to blow the colder air in, or invest in a portable AC unit...

This is an option but do it correctly. You can pay the courts the rent so you won’t be at risk for eviction.

You may not be able to compel your landlord to do anything quickly and the weather may turn before he does anything, anyway, so in the meantime:
Close your blinds (and curtains if you have them) if you're not home during the day so the place won't be hot when you get home. Keep the blinds closed on any sun-facing window if you're home, and open the shadiest window for some breeze.
If you have big enough windows for a box fan, get two and put one blowing outward in a sunny window, and another blowing inward from a shady window, preferably in another room. Reverse the fan direction when the sun shifts. You always want the intake from the shady side, and the output on the sunny side.
It really does help. I lived without a/c for years.

Start withholding rent.
I'm dealing with stupid shit through renter's warehouse and their contractors. I can't seem to get any repairs done within reasonable time. Had an HVAC guy appt for Monday, still haven't heard from RW or HVAC guy. Neither will respond to messages or answer phone.

Correct. Schools do deserve $3.5M too. It should be both/and, not either/or.
