I know a lot of motorsports country clubs got built about 10 years ago across the country but I'm not sure how they are doing now. I don't hear much about them anymore.

The games in red on the poster imply that they did have four home games in 2018. But maybe they were "home" games that took place somewhere out of town?

Where were they practicing and playing their home games?

Yes, rando Jubba business centers/malls.

You mean to tell me a charter school lied?

At Rickenbacker they moved two houses about 1.5 miles away. One blew apart in a storm before the foundation was done. There was only a little left, maybe the kitchen and bathroom. It was an ordinary '60s split level. When they finally got it done it became a 3-story mansion: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8048779,-82.899283,3a,75y,89.34h,90.7t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOb_ztqYHflYB005Dx4kf1Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 I have no idea who funded this whether it was Rickenbacker paying a ton for it or insurance or the people were rich anyway. Another house got moved much further away -- over 5 miles into Pickaway County. Also a plain old '60s split level that got added onto a bunch: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7691014,-82.894511,3a,75y,351.04h,88.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0EA0kAWdBknsKg1vBmNuAg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Also looks like a good place to host time trials. Rich is like, "Don't even think about it"

The area could also be considered in a "crash zone". Rickenbacker tore down or moved quite a few houses for crash zones in the '90s.

I cannot get anything made from PVC for my business at all. The retail value of the products is too low ($3-5 a piece) and you pretty much can't raise it since they are non-essential hobby products.

How about things like electrical and PVC? Electrical didn't start going up until much later, 6+ months after lumber went up. Are prices sticky due to that lag?

It was a very hot topic on UO in 2007

I wonder if there were any flophouses in the SN at that time.

Drove by it today and there is still a lot of busted-up concrete on the site but I couldn't tell if the nasty stuff is still there.

As in the Bowery during flophouse times?

I just saw the sign in real life now twice on here.

5xNW, Clintonville and Linden are the big ones that come to mind. Also Grove City, Hanford Village and Urbancrest come to mind as far as suburbs go.

Oddly, Columbus does have a lot of housing constructed in the 1940s.

That picture from the article might be older than I thought. I haven't been by in a couple months.

In the time since that article was written, Lancaster raised its earnings tax rate from 1.75% to 2.2%. Effective January 1, 2021.

Probably property taxes since data centers typically don't employ a lot of people per square foot.

That's a lot of land for $8.5 million in today's Columbus warehouse development site market. Of course the cleanup is going to be $$$$$$$.

Land prices are what I was thinking about in the first place when I saw those data centers go up in New Albany.

You figure that, but when it's Facebook and Amazon doing it in New Albany saying the internet is better, you know they have the money to fix it too.

I thought the internet in a given area had to be really good to land a data center. That's why the data centers all get built in New Albany instead of Darbyville or something. The internet in that location is notoriously atrocious.

Another store focused on "basic necessities"? Gee, the world really needs those!
