Terrible attempt at journalism. They can't stop themselves from implying that the "woke city" (whatever that means) owns the building and only admit that it's actually owned by a hedge fund and a property management corp below the fold.
You know exactly what woke means and what it means in the context of this story. Now you may not like the word, you may not agree with people using the word, but you know what it means.
I don't, actually. "Woke" seems to mean something different to everyone I ask.
What does it mean to you?
If you don't know what "woke" means in this context, then I can't help you. I know you are looking for some big "gotcha" moment. But you see helpless when I comes to words, so try harder.
No, the article doesn't specify what they mean by the term either.
There is no "gotcha" here, just a very simple and direct question. If that feels like a loaded question to you then it must mean that your personal definition of "woke" is something you feel too ashamed to share in public for some reason..
