Worth noting that in 1921, the American Yiddish-language press described the anti-Black Tulsa massacre as a “pogrom,” because they knew that was the word that would best make their immigrant Ashkenazi Jewish readers understand what happened. ingeveb.org/blog/the-mos...
Ive been studying up on this and the big issue is commercial rents are tied to mortgages and commercial spaces are too large to be affordable nowadays. We should encourage commerical space subdivision. Smaller units get leased much much quicker.
Fwiw I was inspired on this googling quest by will stancil's lament of hennepin ave commercial vacancies & my own observations of very very long-term (10+ yr) vacancies in baltimore
Correct. US commercial spaces are still oriented around the department store revolution of mid century. It went obsolete outside of Class A mall spaces in the 2010s. People want food and beverage and small trinket shops nowadays. Dont need more than 3-4000 sqft. Even less.

I was trying to figure out why some presumably desirable urban commercial properties (specifically retail/service) sit vacant for so long and I found this a very interesting read. If there are any experts out there who can provide a solution or even a different perspective I'd love to hear that
I note that Iran is not listed among the “all parties”
