If he has had multiple exits worth any considerable cash, why doesn't he just put in the money himself instead of getting investors, especially an investor like you. Seems like he himself is not confident in his idea and doesn't want to risk his own money in the venture.
In NYC, its less of a space constraint and more of being against the rules of the landlord/co-op board because they say the building cannot support so much water usage and they are afraid of leakage into apartments below. Most of these arguments have been proven completely invalid, as washing machines nowadays don't use even close to the same amount of water they did 40 years ago, but they still uphold that silly rule.
Wow, Are we supposed to feel sorry for the person posting the yelp review? They made themselves seem like a big baby expecting a restaurant to appease their every whim. These are very few reviews that yelp should remove, but this is definitely one of them.
What kind of cost do you expect to charge for this? A problem I have now with some of the form base software is that the charge for multiple users who each create one form is very high, as they charge per user, not based on how many forms the users make.
Love the idea, would be a fun if you paid for each person you caught stealing and nothing otherwise. When I'm bored and there is nothing on TV, I can just turn on your app and pretend to be a security guard. Maybe you can even have an API that would let users make applications that track people stealing.
If it was a stressful job, you could start to get nervous and sweat. Then you wouldn't be able to press the button on the drill correct and it would be a bad cycle....stressful just thinking about it.
More because it is a known fact that a large proportion of the homless in NYC are not actually even from NY and I don't think we should be paying to take care of people who are not actually from the area. This to me should be a federal issue, why should major metropolitan areas have to pay for all the joe smoes who move to the city for no other reason than mooching off the "better" benefits that cities provide over small towns.
