That was a really good read. I see this happening all over the Tampa Bay area. But I also see the opposite, where once-blighted structures are transformed into beautiful establishments. Grand Cathedral Cigars [1] is one I like to mention, as I have close ties to the area that's been an extremely high crime area for decades. It's turned around quite a bit recently, and seemingly abandoned structures like the old church which Grand Cathedral occupies, are being repurposed rather than torn asunder. There's a running joke about "up and coming neighborhoods" in the Tampa Bay area, but there is visible progress and fewer parking lots being created in place of structure.
