Makes us vulnerable to the type of property owners who know they do not need tenants or us to make money off their holdings. It's clear this city has zero clout with Kimco. So, purely as a matter of principal we should charge the bastards a vacancy fee!

I have personally tried to get information on one of the vacant spaces and after leaving multiple messages over the last 6 months I have yet to received an call back.

Now let's start charging vacancy fees for vacant homes, apartments, etc. Oh, and how about charging fees/penalties for businesses whose sales numbers don't meet some arbitrary quota established by City Council. Heck, let's start charging everyone for anything that doesn't meet our expectations. Whoever said we supported a free market system in Pathetica, anyway?

Charge the owners of property a vacancy fee or tax and they pass it on to the other tenants.<br /><br />Coming from the guy who caved to 7-Eleven, Mike O'Neill shows he has zero clue.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
