  1. That wouldn't help this particular situation since they are in different counties and Franklin County has a lot more jobs than Pickaway.
  2. This is all going to vary greatly suburb to suburb. Groveport and Ashville are neighbors and about the same population yet Groveport's budget is $60 million while Ashville's is like $3M since Groveport has commercial development and Ashville doesn't. It's good that we have national aggregated numbers available.
  3. It did have doctors' offices too. I had my wisdom teeth removed in there so great memories of the building. It had been remodeled at least once so it didn't look that old inside.
  4. MBA here, that's called Sunk Cost Fallacy.
  5. I think on the property and sales tax fronts (ones directly voted on locally) you're starting to see a change due to partisan spacial sorting. People in the core these days are far more likely to pass tax levies since a lot of Republicans have moved out of cities and been replaced with Democrats who moved away from the same small towns and suburbs the Republicans moved out to. And this continues to intensify as suburbs start to become a part of their cities and exurbs become the new suburbs.
  6. If he's saying it's too big there's plenty of split levels located miles away from businesses to move to where you never have to worry about shadows. I honestly hope ZoneIn scares these people off. We don't need them. We do need people who genuinely care about materials and asteics and don’t use them as a proxy to kill density and exacerbate the housing shortage.
  7. I wonder what made them shut down so quickly. It wasn't that long ago that if you got coffee at airports it came in these
  8. Then you've got Miami, which isn't so much of a Red destination, pulling people in as well.
  9. Yeah I don't see why people still think their house is worth the most all by itself with no businesses around. It's not.

    The Health Department building is still there next to COSI.
  11. These people say stuff like "Nobody will live somewhere that's not 'easy to get in and out of'"
  12. I wonder how it looks inside now as compared to the urban explorer photos from 10-20 years ago.
  13. Those rumors were wrapped up in a bunch of "I simply can't believe they closed the Wal-Mart. Means everything else is going to close and it will get turned into Manhattan."

    I'd say you're right: GSV from Columbus Commons

    Where is this? Is every building in it except LeVeque gone? https://www.shorpy.com/node/27572
  16. Dang. At least the station spacing is pretty good.
  17. Reminds me of what they did to the Bush mansion around the corner. The Bush mansion could have been a neat tourist draw.
  18. Easy, just don't fix it when it breaks like at Florence Mall
  19. When did the big waterslide get removed? It's been quite a while since I have been there.
  20. ^And you wonder how so many jobs got dragged up to the northern suburbs creating the massively lopsided economy and development patterns our city faces.
  21. The last traces of the rendering plant will be gone after this.
  22. I did as well a few days ago. I've been e-mailing politicians a lot more in the past six months for various things than I ever have lol.
  23. Yeah now it's the white-collar jobs laying people off all the time and the trades aren't. So a lot of young people started to decline going to college. You saw that starting in the late 2010s.
