I would say under-regulation, or more to the point, mal-regulation. Unregulated markets inevitably settle into a worst case scenario given time.
In the case of residential property (which is what your link refers to), I agree that some of the regulations there are bad and need to be revised or eliminated. But they have nothing to do with the commercial space falling into squalor.
Politicians with crazy blond hair are FUBAR machines.
Banks are financial infrastructure. If they break, they take lots of businesses and customers with them. I'm okay with lone failures, but banks have lots of hooks.Please don't gamble with infrastructure!
Yet the world's average inflation goes around 5%
Economists don't run govt's, moronic politicians do, and moronic voters vote them in place.
My observation has been that any streaming package that includes ESPN is automatically well more than 4 times as expensive as any package without it. Perhaps the cable companies should find a way to dump ESPN and pass along the savings to remain viable.
This factory flew. Go USA!
I think they are holding out to sell the buildings at full price.
Never gonna happen. Full price was before 10 years of decay and rodent infestation + neighborhood gone to shit. Nevertheless, high supply, low demand is supposed to result in low prices.
What a nice idea! But then the commons are not only not commons, but they become properties and whatever herdsman gets the biggest herd will buy it all up and you get a monopoly.
One, how so if the agreement is ownership in common. And two, how is it worse than it all being owned by a (land)lord who rakes in the better part of the profit while considering herding animals to be beneath him?
Sounds like you drank the cool aid.

NPR: "We asked them for this interview, but neither responded by the deadline."
They are "personal helicopters", period.
Reality ain't popular. It's why politicians lie their asses off.
China's geezer party leaders probably got jealous of all the young whippersnappers having fun, so had to reign it in.
Theory is that's also why the Old Testament was written. "If my wanker no longer works, those wippersnappers are no longer allowed to snap their whips either! Parity of misery, Hallelujah, pass the wine!"
Maybe I'm unique in this aspect, but I just don't use a lot of cash. It's not rare for me to literally have zero cash on me. I used to keep 1.25$ in coins in my car for if I forgot to make coffee in the morning, I could swing through the gas station and not have to run a card. Now that a cup of coffee is damn near $2 I just run the stupid debit card.
That's a good point. Between cards and phones and watches paying for things, people rarely carry cash anymore anyway, let alone coinage.
Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
