You’re right. I used to live a few blocks from where Layne Staley died, in a scenario pretty much identical to Philip Seymour Hoffman. The block containing the Jack in the Box where Kurt Cobain was rumored to have scored his heroin has been razed to build a light rail tunnel.
A light rail station, I should have said.
Every third or fourth COMMERCIAL building, I should have said. But residential real estate isn’t doing so hot either.
