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

Please not RedHogs.

I would expect better from Bloomberg. L3 is the best you can hope for in the next few years and that's not even close to 99%. L5 is mandatory for it to not be a parlor trick.

Me neither, I bet a lot of them have to drive to Dublin/Worthington/Westerville/Polaris/Easton to work.

I don't have specifics on the Darby restrictions.

The zoning laws of the northern Delaware County townships may not be as favorable toward subdivision housing as the southern ones. That would drive growth toward Union and Licking Counties. Violet and Bloom Townships in Fairfield County are favorable to subdivisions but I don't think the rest are. Now you do have some Big Darby Accord rules being relaxed in SW Franklin County.

Commercial Point is one of the few areas of Pickaway County that allows housing subdivisions so it's growth is distorted by the county's zoning quirks.

Relative to the U.S. population at the time.

I can picture kids acting like they're going to shove other kids off of that 2nd story walkway every day.

Columbus will need 1.8 million in the city limits to equal Cleveland's 900K in 1950 number.

Do not recognize that area at all. The tallest building still exists but you can barely recognize it.

Growing up in Columbus, I was always told the Plain-Dealer was a good paper like the Toledo Blade. Did something happen with them recently or is Cleveland.com worse than the paper?

"School quality" is just an output of the local social network.

Supermarkets want lots of kids around. They are probably going to have to slowly change their business models because there are going to be way fewer kids than there used to be even 20 years ago, especially in areas with high college graduation rates.

I wonder when that bridge over the railroad got replaced by the overpass.

Then why do you hang out here?

It was cool!

He also has a ton of wealth so a bad month doesn't bring the whole thing down.

$500K+ buildouts even though the place looked perfectly fine before.

Often a high gross margin is actually a minor detail at a business. When net margins are terrible (as they usually are with customer-facing businesses) the gross margin has to be high.

Many bars don't. Bar and restaurant owners sit extremely high on the small business totem pole. People want that kind of status. The industry has reached an extremely high tolerance for losses over the years and a lot of people would literally rather go into debt for life rather than own something boring like a UPS Store. There's also an enormous about of people that know a ton about the operational tasks of bars and restaurants.

Monocultures make people unprepared for life in Modern America.

Good point, it's a little too Thurber Village right now.

Seniors love DeWine, even the ones that turned on Trump. The Republican party does not function without them.

Crazy part is you can barely buy the things because of the virus. There was an instant, immediate shortage of them that hasn't subsided. Plenty of Harleys for sale as always but dirt stuff is a no. You can still get the cheap Taiwanese ones. Of course stealing them is still a possibility. Illegal street riding has been a big thing in both Cincinnati and Cleveland for a while but wasn't nearly as big in Columbus. Seems like so much of this crime wave is kids bored out of their minds from no school (or crappy internet school that is super easy to skip) for an extended period.
