黑石集团表示，从2016年到2019年，他们将所有营收重新投资于这些房产，而在此期间却没有向股东支付股息。
The company told me it invested in solar panels and geothermal heating at the properties, and created common areas and playgrounds.
该公司告诉我，他们在这些房产中投资了太阳能电池板和地热供暖系统，还开创了公共区域和游乐场。
But even the playgrounds that belonged to these properties were apparently worse off, the union concluded, illustrating its point with a sad photograph of a broken seesaw.
但工会的结论是，即使是这些房产所属的游乐场，情况显然也更糟糕，工会用一张已损坏的翘翘板的照片来说明自己的观点。
“Blackstone came in, raised the rent, took the money, and got the hell out of here,” Ola Moller, a Social Democrat MP, said.
