This is why so much of NYC retail space is just “for rent” signs. Landlords got spoiled by those years when national banks, pharmacy chains, and high-end realtors were setting up branches every other block. Now they’d rather just let these spaces sit empty and wait for the unicorn tenant that can afford their ridiculous prices. And this isn’t just a thing on the minor strips/outer boroughs, 5th Avenue in manhattan is a ghost town, relatively speaking.
we must all go down to central park to engage in critical debate and struggle sessions
Covid really gave them an excuse to clean house too. Toronto used to have a bunch of nice smaller restaurants downtown outside the business district, and it seems they're slowly all getting replaced with the bland overpriced chains that normally service bankers and lawyers. Just fucking sucks, landlords already draining our bank accounts dry and they're destroying the former justification for why.
(There's still quite a few but there's definitely been a notable culling)
A lot of neighbourhoods around the city have noticeably changed, it sucks.
Man rip Odessa the based east village 24 hr diner. Also fucked by greedy covid landlord bullshit. It was the best god damn diner in the city with the nicest people and it was always open
That seems to be the problem with both employers and landlords alike, is that they DO have the time and money to wait for unicorns exclusively.
NYC seems like it would be a cool-ass oasis in the Great Satan. But turns out "undesirables" are pretty damn good for property values.
