^Oh that's the old Dayton Mall trick where you shuffle the anchors around when a new one wants in so they both get new stores.

Indeed, in Europe poverty's not in your face since you don't really need to go to the parts of town with it.

I guess people would rather buy a farm tractor with a pan attachment than an actual pan these days? Or is the area low on pans with all the development going on at once?

Go to a Wendy's. There's so many of them around here that there's only one car in line and one guy sitting in it what seems like all the time. I don't see how they keep them all open. One time I drove past 5 Wendys to get to a Rallys.

Yes. Too many idea people and not enough executors. If they do get executors they get frustrated and leave for other cities. Too much apathy and thinking things are "fine" since we keep growing because of jobs.

I guess someone had to be the modern day Eddie Ellner.

A song called "Breakup Behind Arby's" just popped up in a co-worker's playlist. Is this a thing? Remind me to avoid fast food with partners.

Even if the robots "can" do it, if they're only as reliable as the shake machine it doesn't really matter

General economic rant for fast food especially. If you can't staff the place at lunch maybe you shouldn't be open after 10pm. I know you were spoiled by the flood of Millenials you got between 2000 and 2020 that you made come in at 3AM to serve the two people that showed up during that hour but now you have to value the fact that you can get people at all.

This is the part that goes through the former Links at Rickenbacker golf course. There may be another extension coming that curves to the left to serve the 6 or so warehouses slated to be constructed on the land that the FAA just opened up for development SE of the runway. There are 2-3 buildings under construction to the right that this extension will serve.

Cincinnati is so strict about grills.

That is the definition of looming.

^The "Groveport" (actually in the City of Columbus) Aldi is less than 1 year old.

Did the Denver market respond with more units or just higher and higher prices?

Super Duper's coming back

I was just through there today. It was shocking 😉 how old it all looked. I've been going through there since I was a teenager but hadn't been in a while. That electrical stuff is 100 years old and it looks like something out of a history book. I think I just took it at face value when I was younger because I can't say those kind of lines were all that common 25-30 years ago either, outside of industrial areas. 23 is starting to look old and haggard too between 270 and 665 since it hasn't changed much since the '50s either. It didn't seem that way when I was a kid. There is so much more traffic volume than even 10 years ago. Rathmell is currently closed at Parsons. The poles were already up for the replacement power lines on 23.

^Yes my question is if there has been any subsequent legislation to prevent ECOT-like situations or just some penalties for the ECOT ownership structure themselves.

With as few young people as there are today (and COVID lingering) for UC to see record enrollment goes to show how important people feel going to school in the city is today.

So we're sitting here trying to cook up new zoning requirements when we could just apply the Downtown zoning to more neighborhoods.

Kind of a pretty standard disinvestment story. Rip up the streetcar tracks, bypass it with a freeway, build a bunch of new stuff on the edge of town and see what happens.

"Verbal Government Approval" would be a good band name.

Gas is 60 cents more a gallon in Lancaster than Groveport.

Only issue with that is they start asking where you get on the train... not a problem in Cleveland or now Cincinnati, but I've definitely had the conversations in Cincinnati before the streetcar opened.

I do question the methodology as well since some of these MSAs are so big. The economic mobility of Ross, Pickaway and Fairfield Counties is way worse than Franklin or Delaware. Look at how well West Virginia and North Dakota do. That's because even fast food and casino jobs that they didn't have 40 years ago pay better than the chronic unemployment than you saw in WV or on western Native American reservations back then.

It's weird, condos depreciate because you don't own the land but apartment buildings appreciate because the landlord owns the land. Same with SFH. Houses don't appreciate so much as the land does.
