Reminds me of how apartment complexes, especially in college towns, will change their name if a crime happens there that makes the news. Then prospective tenants looking up information about 'University Heights on the Green' won't see the stories about the series of rapes the year before at 'Twin Oaks Parkside' unless they think to do a search on the address.
- sublinear 4y agoI'm pretty sure the name change is usually far more benign than that. Apartments depreciate faster in some areas than others. It can also be difficult to turn a profit especially in a college town where nobody but broke and rowdy students want to live. Apartment complexes then get new ownership after the last one gives up and the new property management changes the name to fit their brand.
