you have no idea what you’re saying and you sound just like a lib in saying it
“It’s impossible for me to feel sorry for any commercial real-estate owners who just let the property sit vacant for months or years. If it’s not renting for what you want, lower your darn prices”
I’m in agreement with that.
Just as with hamburger flippers and baggers, economic reality needs to be accepted by commercial landlords and banks. Banks need to permit commercial landlords to offer rental rate reductions - the Internet has altered markets for real estate.
My house would be taxed by the school district on a year-round basis even if I left it vacant for 80 days to go on an around-the-world trip.
Government needs to be run on a rational basis and a rational amount of taxation needs to be levied and collected.
