I have also known Clark since high school and he has never done anything that was not to his benefit. He was the guy to make fun of the handicap students to get a laugh. He is an, arrogant, cruel, soulless individual. I have to say that I am not sorry to see his demise. Karma at it’s best!

I’ve known Clark since high school. He’s the hardest working con man out there. He’s not a good person, a good friend or good anything, but you can bet on him stabbing you in the back. But what goes around, comes around. Can you say “BANKRUPTCY.” Goodbye FF, you’ve done an amazing disappearing act.

I purchased a condominium from Financial Freedom over a year ago and they still have not finished their required work. Simply put, Financial Freedom is the worst company I have ever dealt with, in all areas: ethics, punctuality, craftsmenship, etc… All concerns have been sent in writing to management, and there has been little follow-through.

Jesus, I’m in PR and even I’m getting sick of hearing the party line here. Give it a rest — this thread is old and dead.

The Minneapolis Lakes neighborhood is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the country. Market forces are driving up the value of properties in this neighborhood and it will continue.

Sure, lots of people would love to live in the nicer areas of San Francisco and in places like Malibu, but the prices are just too high for most people. So Clark Gassen or anyone else developing properties in desirable areas are not the cause of people getting kicked out of their apartments. The cause is the demand for properties in those areas. Clark, in fact, has made it possible for many people to buy a home in an area they desire. And home ownership is good for a neighborhood. And higher density population is also necessary for reversing the trend of urban sprawl and the consequent traffic and other problems that come with that.

There is always resistance to change. In fact, I was not originally supportive of the Mall of America. I did not think it was going to work. But it has been a huge success.

Clark has done positive things for the community. He should be commended. As for those looking for a free lunch (via lawsuits), try hardwork. As for the complaints about the units… valid … but i’m sure if you speak to management as we all do, your concerns will be addressed. In the words of the true PIMPS ” Don’t hate the player… hate the game!”
