Flagstaff is a decent sized mountain town. Decent sized mountain towns have pretty good food and bars, including unique establishments. Of course they won’t please a true snob looking for a new home, but they plenty suit low key snobs like me. Last time I made a pit stop in Flagstaff it took 30 seconds on Yelp to find a great independent Cajun-creole joint with a pleasant patio, friendly staff, and delicious food and craft beer.
And frankly, let’s not let SF off the hook for its large proportion of mediocre restaurants and bars. IMO they are a another sad consequence of Prop 13: old businesses with low property taxes don’t need to be much good to survive, but the cost of starting a new business is spectacularly high.
- seanmcdirmid 6y agoDo most old restaurants in SF own their property rather than rent? If they are renting, why are landlords passing down prop 13 property tax savings to them especially?
- gkop 6y agoMost probably rent, but are part of an "ecosystem" which encourages keeping around old things.
