I understand that it’s really hard to rent apartments or sell condos in this market, but has it really come to this?

This is the ad for the Chloe Apartments at 14th & Union. Chloe is a dog. QED, you should rent this apartment. Or something.
Actually, I think it’s more like, “rent this apartment or the puppy gets it.”
Oh, please tell me CheapSh*tCondos reads Orphan Road. I think they would suggest that the Chloe condos have gone to the dogs or smell like dog poo or are ugly, small and smell when wet.
