,,Just let them build.'' Would you also advise a company to destroy its profit center?

  Thing is they’re like that guy or gal who is waiting for the “perfect one”. That one is never gonna come. It’s been like this decades. Get something!

    In the Bay Area city I live in, there was an empty building on "main street" which remained that way for about 13 years. Every few years a potential new business would file for permission. Nope, no, "not a good fit", "too many of your idea already here", and more endless excuses kept the building empty. Finally, about 1.5 years ago, a business was finally granted permission to move in. About 6 months later, a second business [a refugee from San Jose] moved in upstairs. Both businesses resemble other businesses already on "main street". I'd like to know more about the previous 13 years of "we don't want your tax money, we'd rather a big gaping hole and an empty building but thanks".

      Lvl Up and AFK aren’t all that similar to businesses already in Campbell though. The empty bank building was a real eyesore though, especially with its prominence on that end of Campbell Ave. And now that it’s filled, a couple more of the empty storefronts near it look like they won’t be for long either.
