I wont argue about POV's level of quality. They fill a niche. There'll always be room in the market for companies like POV. Hate to be a dick, but if you didn't want to wake up next to a mechanical room, you (or whoever this happened to) should have looked at the plans before buying. Mechanical rooms aren't arbitrarily re-located during construction.
I'd be more pissed at the realtor/salesperson for not bringing it up.
And of course, at the end of the day, caveat emptor.

Point 1: Well I can't argue with that, and that's why I'd like to know exactly how much money was taken in by the city, and exactly where it all went. My guess though, is that the actual businesses see very little of it, that's it's used as tax money (like everything else in this city right now). Saying that, I admit I could be wrong and that's why I'd like to see specifics.
Point 2: I can't entirely disagree with that either, (no it wasn't me) but I still think they are pretty sleazy the way they deal with customers and clients. I've heard many other stories like that, it just seems to be one of those companies that has absolutely zero corporate responsibility, so I stand by my warning against them.
Yeah, at the end of the day it is buyer beware, but whatever happened to disclosure and responsibility? I always took that very seriously as a salesperson and I will point my finger at people and companies that don't.
The best relationship is one where you bring customers back and have positive word of mouth. Trying to cheap someone out of money can cost you bigger down the road, and vice versa, being responsible and sacrificing a little profit or commission up front, or just providing a quality product, can return much much more back to you in the long run.
Don't ever ever buy from Pointe of View.
