What is that cut off elevated roadway between the actual train station building and the arcade?

Jesus, I never knew Market-Mohawk reached the grass stage.

Is that last one AI?

A lot of people still do, it's just not enough to keep the values afloat as compared to the seemingly endless supply.

In Ohio if you get just a little too far out the schools start sucking again badly. If everyone is originally from there and all the kids' parents do the same thing for a living it's a bad school.

All of Ohio really suffers from an oversupply of now-unpopular prewar SFH. 15-20 years ago people were more willing to rehab or put up with the houses' tantrums to save money or be in a hot neighborhood. Now it seems the patience for that is drying up and people either want a full high-quality rehab performed already by someone else or postwar. Or they don't want/can't do SFH at all. This is reflected in the values of survivor prewar SFH and evenmoreso in non-move-in-ready.

Well I don't know if that was the same time -- it seems the height reductions were prewar whereas the mass demos were late '50s to late '70s. Nonetheless when buildings are 35-70 years old they are the most in danger and that mindset prevails.

This thread getting bumped prompted me to look through it again. I was lucky enough to get subpoena papers as a witness for the State of Ohio a few years back due to some guy selling the aforementioned Super Game Team stolen stuff. So I got to wake up early, drive down and be in this building at 8AM sharp. I could tell the building turned out great despite how crappy of a mood I was in when they told me I wasn't needed because the guy didn't show up for court. Law Note: If you get subpoenaed, always call the courthouse the afternoon before to make sure the trial is still on the schedule for the next day. The next time I got papers I did so and found out the case got taken off because the guy plead guilty. That way I didn't have to go down there again at the buttcrack of dawn unnecessarily.

This is a large building for Lancaster so to see it reactivated is very important. Right in the core along Columbus St.

What was the deal with that back then all over Downtown? I get that back before elevators were popular the upper floors were probably harder to rent, roofs were crappy so there were probably lots of leaks and rotting wood on the upper floors and there was always fire. But it really was a lot of work back then to just knock off floors like that. It happened in Cincinnati as well.

Well if Colin Kaepernick hasn't won enough Super Bowls to have an opinion on race you surely don't get to have an opinion on this.

I mean, the Jai Lai was just down the street. I suppose they were more known for ribs but I'd think anywhere where ribs do well a steakhouse can too.

One way they pay if they are far enough out is having to deal with wells, septic tanks and drain-to-creek situations. All of these increase risk and have their own costs to them that don't make them "free". Septic tanks require maintenance and that's a cost that comes as one big bill rather than a periodic one as seen with city sewer. Wells can go dry or get dirty, the electric water pump adds to the electric bill (no water when the power's out), electric water pumps love to get hit by lightning (we replaced 4 due to this). And of course drain-to-creek is problematic unless it's just roof runoff. All of these things reduce home values as compared to city services.

I don't think any data centers are going to locate close to Rickenbacker. It seems like land price per acre is actually pretty close for both uses but I think they don't want to take up Intermodal-adjacent space with data centers.

I will say that the most recent time we got lapsed or even first-time voters out to vote on a large scale it was the previously-apathetic Harley Guys coming out for Trump. So Rs should want as many people voting since sometimes it makes them win. But they are so scared of the Black and youth votes since they're scared of anybody that's different from them.

I can't believe average people still get into farming. Of course the situation article is actually more of a family succession issue but there really are people out there wanting to get in from scratch. I would have never gotten into any of the businesses that I have actually done if situations didn't force my hand though.

Hmm, it was a private equity group to my knowledge that owns other malls and other store locations. Now Arshot or people from the Schottenstein family might be a part of the private equity play.

And now, Deep Thoughts... I suppose Facebook and Instagram bringing in all that outside stuff rather than stuff from your friends is like when MTV stopped showing music videos.

There isn't or places with density wouldn't be worth so much more than sprawl per acre. Sprawl is actually a symptom of low land value. Density is a function of high land value. If there was enough density land value in dense areas would decrease and land value in sprawl would increase. And if "elbow room" was more popular than access to amenities and jobs, Appalachia's real estate values wouldn't be so depressed.

You can put the "boneyard" in that spot but other than that "tabs" like that are less popular than regular open space.

I saw that so I was not referring to this house specifically as 7000 Sq ft for one user.

So many of these grand old E. Town and E. Broad houses have been turned into offices and split up. On one hand that means they aren't original use or layout. You almost want to see them restored to full originality. On the other, just two or so people per 7000 square foot house with yards in an otherwise dense area is kind of a waste of space and even quite decadent.

That's them saying that they are "with it" in that they are down with both discretionary spending (malls) and basic essentials (the DGs).

Crap, I forgot to turn mine off. I, for one, welcome our reptilian overlords
