re: #52 KGxvi

I wonder how many office complexes will be left to rot. There are 5 near me that have one or two tenants and have sat otherwise empty for a long time, since the last economic crash back in 2008ish. In one spot, 40 acres were cleared 5 years ago to build office spaces and a “gun club”. One building sits on the land, it holds a bank with a drive thru and the rest of the building is empty. The gun club got a better deal a few miles up the road after the people in the houses across the street decided they didn’t want an outdoor firing range visible from their front porches. So the land is cleared and empty with no takers. Other spots are abandoned strip malls in places with really shitty access off the main road, a project that ended before it even started (meant to be mixed use and then the contractor went bankrupt) and one that finally got sold early last year to become a storage unit place. There’s a couple of half finished buildings that have now fallen into disrepair with no takers. Such a waste of money and resources too. Our county commission is terrible at planning. All they see is immediate dollar signs and promises.
