My post was a bit tongue-in-cheek and was intended to tie this story with the other badly written story in the news about how the weight of the buildings on the island could be causing subsidence. Proposing to demolish unoccupied buildings, haul the debris off the island, and convert the lots to usable park space was obviously a bullshit proposal. Of course it we put some thought into it maybe good things could happen. Lets think outside the box in a move fast and break things manner. If we moved fast enough and broke down enough of these buildings then the island could find an equilibrium much sooner. (As a geoscientist I am skeptical). Like in many things related to new software, services, apps, the whole part about how me make it pay off can be figured out later. Run at a loss long enough to fix all the defects in your business model and maybe your first adopters will be gullible enough to set you up for success later. The important part is to be first to the product space and to set the tone and tempo for those that follow. You're the leader, defining the narrative and all others must iterate on your model and brainstorm ways to improve the process while trying to attract funding for their dubious improvements. I recognize that you and others may not be as forward thinking as I am. If something is to be broken you want to make sure it belongs to someone else or that there is a path to enrichment for you. Surely your investment has paid out many times over and you are ready for a new challenge in an exciting new market or product space. Maybe you should call someone at HUD and explore your condo options. It may be better for society anyway if some of the commercial space were converted to affordable housing. That region could use more affordable housing. You are probably aware that conversion of commercial property to housing requires a lot of infrastructure improvements and building upgrades to be feasible. Fortunately HUD or other government agencies may have funds to soften those costs and get you right back into business as owner of the most conveniently placed residential property in the city. Just be sure to follow project guidelines in how the money is used to avoid legal problems down the road. People could live a block from their jobs in one of the not-vacant office properties. Like at least one of our large news services, I'm just throwing shit at the walls here. Maybe some of it will stick.
