the bldg by 30th and euclid doesn't look that different. maybe some internal fixes?

wow---that's the definition of false advertising, isn't it? nice high rise bldg shown instead of the actual 8-story one?

Short Vincent was the place to be, man.

"Annexation -- Columbus keeps annexing, Cincinnati and Cleveland can't" Why not? I'm not saying its not true---and there hasn't been any CLE annexations in ages--but wondering if there is a some legal (or other) reason why this is the case. Thanks.

what was that bag from?

hmmmm.. probably not. Year of construction is year of construction probably in the county files which is by location or parcel number--not by use....so a warehouse built in 1921 is 1921 construction. I hope the PD did a decent (or any!) analysis and not just a data dump which may be the case. if that 1921 warehouse became housing in 1995---he should have manually added that number to 1995 as that is when it was built---"as housing"

Interesting. City of CLE shows only 440 in the 2010s. Is that accurate? the data is supposed to include condos: "Each community is ranked for both median year built (for all single-family homes, doubles and condos)" https://www.cleveland.com/expo/news/erry-2018/07/c013564bfd6696/find_out_when_most_homes_in_yo.html#incart_m-rpt-1

Isn't German Village an historic neighborhood? That hotel looks like a cheap motel found at a highway interchange--and doesn't fit in at all.

For those columbus folks who say that Columbus is not subsidized by Cleveland and Cincinnati---look at the graph above. Assume that Federal and local workers are a function of metropolitan size--so CLE would have more federal and local workers than columbus. then, on top of that, columbus has about 50,000 more govt' workers than CLE/Cinci. So about 50-60k state workers beyond what is proportional---that Cleveland and Cinci are paying for that are, in turn, shopping/eating/buying homes, etc. in Columbus pulling up that economy.

^don't worry---CLE shall rise again!

Where's agriculture? Isn't that big in Columbus?

^"to this day"---you make it seem like its always been that way. ZOB used to be FIRST in the country.

How is it worse? 4 hours of productive time (sleeping/working/even watching movies) vs. 0 hours of productivity/sleep because you're driving?

So you think a significant number of people would spend 5.5 hours every day on the train plus the time it takes them to commute from their house to the train station? I don't. But the next phase of improvements, bringing the CLE-COL travel time down to 1.5 hours (and less from a suburban station) would start to change the economic dynamic in Ohio. Agreed. I don't think people will commute CLE-CIN. But between Columbus and CLE/Cinci it is certainly feasible if the job was worth it, even if at the full 2 hrs--especially if you spend say 6-7 hours in the office and then work another 2 on the train. and then sleep, read, or work some more for the other 2 hrs---its not so crazy a concept. If you could be president of the Rock Hall or the Cle Clinic or of OSU or Nationwide Insurance or Kroger but your wife and kids are in the other city and you can't move everyone, you take the great job and commute.

KJP--What states ended up getting the $400M that Kasich gave back, so they could build their rail networks?

Another way in which the State of Ohio has been favoring Columbus over the 2C's and Dayton: By killing the 3C rail, it kindof forced people to move to Columbus if they found a job there and previously lived in Cleveland or Cincinnati. I live in Cleveland and was once offered a job by a company in Columbus. As I certainly would not want to live in Columbus, the only way to do it would be to commute from CLE. The train would have made that possible. But driving 4 hrs each day makes it less practical. So for people who can't say 'no' to an offer, they are forced to move to Columbus instead of living in their preferred city.

There are some "hip" advancements in agriculture and state-level government operations, I guess. I'll agree that Columbus has had more job growth than Cleveland in recent years, but I've never heard of Columbus, OH being perceived by anyone as a 'hip' city, especially when compared to Cleveland. If I had to rank the 3C's--it would be CLE, Cinci, Columbus.

^Not if they get one of these: https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/3/17532188/amazon-go-seattle-new-store-location-fall-2018

^Interesting. I would have expected Ohio to be bigger. Also, Wisconsin is larger than I would have expected.

^so, KJP, are you saying its a lapse of due diligence on behalf of DCA or that there is something to this quote?

^based on those estimates, the White-only and Asian-only GREW in the city!

^except for the brooklyn waterfront scene---that was all cleveland, right?

Interesting. The AC hotel is not on marriott's public list yet: http://achotels.marriott.com/locations
