[Sodium_noir] Hell is Other People

Allen Bradley, Marguerite Sinclair, Mara Ravenclaw
  A Pair of Mortals and a Vamp
  Sinclair Mansion
   
  Mara toys with one manicured nail.  "Real estate, hmm?  Do you specialize in any particular part of the city?  Are you trying to redevelop the impoverished areas, or simply building the next set of luxury condos?"
   
  “I’ve always been of the mind that one helps the other.  It’s really no use to build luxury condominiums if the people living there don’t have a job to pay for them, is it?”  There was a beat of silence while Bradley studied Ravenclaw’s reaction.
   
  “I’m sorry, Ms. Ravenclaw, but you’ve asked touched a bit of a raw nerve.  As I was telling Mr. Fresserei,” Bradley gestured to the portly man still holding a captive audience on the other side of the room, “those of us with means have an obligation to help those without.  But the only way we can do that is by giving people who need help the opportunity to bring themselves out of poverty.”  Mara began to see a few cracks in Bradley’s bland façade as he warmed to the subject.
   
  “After all, I’m sure that most of the people at St. Bridget’s would rather have the means to pay for their own apartment and groceries rather than beg for handouts and table scraps.  Make jobs available and people will fill them.  And once enough jobs are filled, building luxury condos becomes a better business proposition.”
