It's being turned into housing so they don't seem to care. Updated news reports say they refuse to return calls or allow anyone on property

So, existing units are being converted to low cost housing? Or the entire property is being razed to build new housing? Either way, it was a dick move. As Tom pointed out, no real changes can be made without permits, etc. They could at least have honored existing reservations through “x” date and given people a reasonable notice. I hope that their little project is very un-magical!

Sounds like housing.

I can’t read the article because of the pay wall but thank you for summing it up. I initially thought it might be someone looking to turn the property into apartments or such.

I got that idea from the article but not 100% sure. No one from the new ownership seems to be talking.

I 100% agree that this should've been handled reservations through x date are valid. Considering some say the booked months ago, this feels shady
