September 2018: Dow high was 26,743.50 (up 2.7% since). Nasdaq high was 8010.04 (up 5.28% since). S&P high was 2913.98 (up 5.6% since). In other words, growth has been somewhat moderate. It's just the crazy dip last winter has distorted this year's gains a bit. And that's good. Conservative growth is a better indicator than crazy growth (after which steep declines may follow).

The racial stuff is ridiculous, but overall I think it's nice that they're having this booster event. If it helps Cleveland advocates network and partner up, it's only a win for the city and region.

At $100-$200 million dollars per mile of additional track, that would be a pretty large baby step.

Do you have any urbanohio merch?

Considering all of the lies behind the Medical Mart/Global Innovation of Bulls-hit, WeWork's current nightmare, and a number of visible development failures, I think some skepticism is warranted. He's just giving another perspective, and there are/will be plenty of other more positive articles to balance it.

Damn, they sure build them high in New York.

Look at all those attractive people walking on the street. Might as well rename the street Ocean Drive 2.0.

But why build that when we already have an endless supply of existing, smaller, vacant retail spaces in the downtown malls, the arcades, and on the streets? Why do there have to be even more with a new skyscraper? It's just another burden for the property manager and tenants.

I disagree. One of the problems with new construction in a lot of cities is they have these massive retail spaces that sit empty for years. Mixed use buildings are nice on paper, but we have enough empty storefronts as it is. Who needs one that's the size of a block.

"Accusations of classism and racism followed." Goddamn is every f'ing thing about race in this country???

I've always found the public transportation surprisingly decent in Miami, at least compared to other cities I've visited.

I don't know. We already have enough problems with legally prescribed opioids. Imagine if anyone can now access methadone or benzodiazepines - that might be cause a few issues.

Fred Nance is part of the reason Cleveland got such a bad deal with the albatross, I mean stadium. The guy isn't one of the good guys.

I seriously doubt that.

Jaysus, what a patronizing and obvious article. If I'm on the Sherwin BOD and read this nonsense - "oh we trust Sherwin Williams to do the right thing" - that doesn't exactly motivate me to vote to stay. Might not hurt but certainly doesn't help. The PD/Cleveland.com needs to use some common sense here. That article is defeatist as hell.

High rent/greedy landlord parasites are part of it. Enormous property taxes another. Changing consumer tastes another. Out of town institutional investors holding properties hostage/open, awaiting a national retailer, for years another. A lack of vacancy taxes/penalties another. A lack of broader eminent domain seizures another. Mandatory and unnecessary first floor retail in new residential properties yet another reason. And the list goes on and on and on and on...

Yah, Cleveland is in a bit of trouble with this loser - and talk about pretty bad timing. Can you imagine stronger mayors like Walsh or Turner sounding so incomprehensible, unprofessional, almost Trumpian. And this is the guy leading the charge to keep Sherwin-Williams? Uh oh.

My favorite part of the article: "Get insider texts about Cleveland City Hall on your phone from Robert Higgs. Cut through the clutter of social media and communicate directly with cleveland.com’s City Hall reporter, just like you would with your friends. Sign up here and give it a try.It’s just $3.99 a month, which works out to about 13 cents a day." Such a professional tagline.

I get you're very anti-Uber, but clearly the 58 billion dollar company isn't closing anytime soon.

Gilbert and friends have leverage to extort the city. Lacob and his pals do not.

That's what you're taking from the article?

Has Beachwood Place really reached the "troubled" level, as that second article implies. The drug dealing, violence and tensions are depressing, but I feel they're still somewhat spread out and infrequent. Maybe "limited decline" is a better description. As for the plan, hey, anything to connect La Palace to Beachwood Place is good news. When my dad walks from Nervous Dog to the mall, it's like walking on the moon.

I can't believe we're locked in this contract in perpetuity. There must be conditions within the agreement such as, oh I don't know, if you don't deliver by the the time the global population has jumped 13 f'ing percent, terms may need to be revisited.

There are reasons, some we know, others we can speculate, that other downtowns of varying size and attraction have had far more cranes in the sky than Cleveland. It's not just Stark being mean to his hometown; its all developers seemingly.
