No, better for them to suffer in their houses, townhouses, and luxury apartments than to live the good life in dinky apartments [my bolding].

I see you’ve played knifey-spoony before.
If the threat was anonymous, what proof do you have that Mr. Yu is the thug?

I was going to bring this up myself, as soon as I saw it. It doesn’t compute. Saturns are crappily-designed budget cars. I think they’re supposed to be pretty reliable and safe, but I think Saturn consistently comes out with the ugliest sedans out of all the automakers. The other companies might make occasional design anomalies like the Honda Element, Nissan Pathfinder Armada (looks like it was designed by Ray Charles. On acid.) and the Ford Jord. But Saturn puts out a consistent and steady stream of crap.

The first couple of model years definitely looked cool. The teenage boy next door liked my '93. For the first five years, at least, they had quality ratings up their with Lexuses for a lot less. As for reliability, my '98 is running great at 104K miles, and my daughter’s boyfriend’s '92 is in reasonably good shape at 170K miles with a lot less maintenance than it should have, and a few too many Chicago winters.
As for safety, some idiot ran a red light and hit my car, when my wife had it, smack in the drivers side door. She was banged up, but was out of the emergency room in a few hours.
So don’t diss Saturn, you car racist bastard.
(Actually the later ones are not so hot, after GM made Saturn just another crappy GM car. But the first few years were great.)

This isn’t a newspaper story. It’s a TV story. If one of you has access to a video camera, shoot footage for the local TV stations and cable public-affairs shows. (As long as you’re shooting from the street, you’re legally in the clear.) Make yourselves available for comment for stories. Cultivate contacts in the local media and keep them abreast of everything that’s going on. If there’s a hearing or a meeting, make sure your contacts know about it, so they can cover it.

I’d think a shot of little old ladies in walkers forced to live next to this filth (they could take video of the backyard from a room in your apartment), and up against rich guy in fancy cars would make great TV. Especially if Yu could be induced to call little old ladies racist on camera.
I wonder if it would pay to research Yu’s connections. What stuff does he own? Has he pulled this before? Any crime connections? (Most honest if scumbag property owners aren’t into intimidation.)

I don’t, but I can’t think of who else might send such a threat.
As for Saturns being crappy cars, hey, what I don’t know about cars could fill volumes.
Can’t think of anyone else? Please. The world’s full of nuts. Could be anyone.

Look on the bright side. Conversations about this have great potential:
“Who’s responsible for this mess?”
“Yu!”
“Me?”
“No, Yu!”
