- rtpg 3y agoRossmann had some rant recently about NYC, talking about how the loans developers get when building out buildings tend to demand a certain minimum rent (or, if you don't meet that, you gotta basically show up with more capital). This leads to the whole "empty spaces but rent not dropping much" thing. I get there are costs with having people in the building but at one point it would be nice for society to just be like "let's not leave stuff entirely empty"
- Moldoteck 3y agoBc us society is relying on dependency: ppl will depend on cars to move/buy groceries, ppl will depend on jobs bc they neeed health insurance, ppl will depend on office working bc they should depend on cars and businesses will depend on office bc govt will get money.
