Symptomatic of a housing shortage. 1990s Columbus would have ripped that right down (I mean they didn't but it wasn't old enough yet).

It doesn't. It effectively raises the price of the legal product thereby increasing the demand for the illegal product.

Ryan's marketing came across as "Youngstown Smokestacks".

Please tell me Cranley isn't in the conversation.

The unions knew how to talk to blue collar workers in a way that today's academic-centric Ds struggle with. There was an in during the past.

OSU Buckeyes: #1 in Appalachia.

Late '80s!

Grove City? No way

Clintonville commission is gonna drive down and demand 2-3 stories come off

Pre-war SFH was definitely considered expendable until around 2015 in most of Ohio.

Not only did I see bands at Sudsy's, I did my homework there too.

Is that true of children and senior citizens?

That kind of office building has quite gone of style hasn't it?

Wow, Lyft turned a profit.

Xylem has been opening up powerline ROW for months now miles away from the site. They definitely want redundancy even on smaller lines. I was going around a corner on Walnut Creek Pike thinking "this house stays" then two seconds later there's a surveyor. No that house doesn't stay!

Yet West Virginia has sales tax on food. Grocery store unprepared food.

Somebody changed US-23 south of Columbus to "Corridor C" years ago and it hasn't been fixed. Ohioans aren't used to calling their highways using the Corridor letter (unlike West Virginians) so it's quite confusing when their GPS is barking at them to get on Corridor C.

If Twitter was public it would be a penny stock right now.

Sometimes a business really wants a space so they approach the landlords and offer double the current rent or more. I'm not saying that's the case here, but some landlords are going to take that no question while others are going to stick with who they already do business with. It's a risk though since the new tenant might have a lot of money now but won't in a year or two.

What I do know is that if rail infrastructure is in highway medians it is eligible for highway dollars.

Looks like an entire strip mall came down for that CVS. I wonder what all was in it. It looks like the parcel has never had anything good on it.

It's a question of making sure good pedestrian access is a part of the design and of volume. If a roundabout has cars moving across all parts of it at all times that's a really high volume junction and additional pedestrian infrastructure such as a bridge or pedestrian subway may be needed. Cases of that high volume at roundabouts are rare. In most cases however the car volume is low enough to create enough of a break for pedestrians to get through. In a high-volume of pedestrian area a signalized intersection is often preferable.

Most state politicians drive a TON so they should have gotten it a long time ago.

Preliminary US-23 Delaware County Feasability Study is out: https://publicinput.com/q554343 There's a lot to look at so take your time. Lots of RIROs is all I can say.

In the now-getting-to-be-distant past, streetcar opponents in Cincinnati were using the mere existence of BRT in other cities to try and block construction of the streetcar and light rail in general. With the streetcar operational and successful for years now these days those arguments have largely subsided. In the past there weren't many BRT advocates in Cincinnati who weren't streetcar opponents in disguise -- which also no longer true. So past attitudes seen on UO no longer apply for the most part.
