Aren't we already paying like $28k a year per student for jack shit results? Is this just some sort of victory lap to make sure the taxpayers know that they can just go fuck themselves?

You seriously have a 50 row spreadsheet of buildings? I really think you're overthinking this. Just pick one. You're moving into a luxury building in a premium neighborhood and spending over $5k per month, how bad do you think it will be? Plus that's the beauty of renting. If you don't like it, you can move in a year.
Also, someone may love a building, and you pick it and then might just have bad luck. I've dealt with really loud neighbors, a gym upgrade closing the gym in my building for 4 months, and multiple fire alarms in one month due to a "system malfunction" in otherwise what I'd call a great apartment.
I've dealt with all of these all things in all different apartment buildings downtown, some of which are mentioned here. That is sort of par for the course with apartment living.... I wouldn't rely on someone's individual experience because shit can happen anytime. I would just pick the one you like the most and stop overthinking.

You put it on the internet so you have to expect comments from literally anyone. That's the point of reddit.

This isn't the same thing. This was comments on the budget.

They posted something like an “annual survey” via some surveymonkey type website on their Twitter page. This was months ago

Just avoid 50 columbus. Every few weeks, one of more of their elevators are down. The two other buildings don’t have that problem

Where did you make your comment? I'm trying to figure out where they allowed people to submit.

Yeah, you might be right…it’s entirely possible, but it’s not the case from what I understood. The councilman (elected by the constituents who live in the area) voted against it based on community input and had been attempting to negotiate with the developer but got outvoted by other wards’ councilpersons.

A million bucks of tax dollars going to kids playing video games.
I mean, I play video games too, but that million should be spent on something else.

I live in Bergen Lafayette. I work and shop here, too. It is my community, if not my backyard. We can disagree on the way to get the pros of density without taking things personally.

yup, exactly...because I read SO many posts and comments before posting, I tried to do what most commenters complained was missing. But there's no pleasing the internet.
I know its Reddit...but sheesh people just have to comment, don't they? I tried to make it abundantly clear I was just looking for building names that come to mind quickly and nothing else and no extra effort on anyone's part. I also tried to make it very easy to ignore and move on with my intro...oh well.

Yea we've looked into a good amount (honestly too many to list here or I would've) but I'm at the point where I'm looking to understand and avoid the things you can't find online or a tour.
e.g., elevators down more than up, noise between units, general vibe of common spaces (e.g., actually kid-friendly or not).
I've read plenty of reviews but complaints surface in reviews way more than volunteered positive info. So I figured I'd see if anyone here would volunteer a positive review that they might not have thought or cared to do on google, etc.
