I presently live in NYC and NYC has some rent controlled apartments, but not for commercial spaces, and the problem is even worse in NYC, big corporate places constantly taking over nice quirky businesses and making most of Manhattan (and now parts of Brooklyn) like a suburban mall.

I also have properties I rent out as a side business, and I am not in favor of locking landlords into money-losing rent controlled situations. That sucks too. Much better for a % of the housing AND commercial space to be bought out at market prices as a public good using tax money, then maintained and re-let at cost to local middle class residents and small locally-owned businesses. That way landlords don't get screwed, and cities still get the quirky mix of people and businesses that makes them great places to live and invest.

No way are they letting all that business go down the street to Silver Platters.

My best wishes to the store's owner and staff.
Posted by Sea Otter]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:21:06 -0800 The Stranger Owner Matt Vaughan cited an untenable long-term lease offer and rent hike as reasons, despite a great 2012, which included increased sales...

I love this store and was sad to hear about the closing. When I first heard about it, I presumed it was because of poor sales because, almost everytime I've been in the store the past few years, there were very few people in it (compared to years before that.) So it's too bad to hear that the sales were fine but it's the lease and rent that are forcing them to close their doors.

And to be replaced by, of all things, another bank. Oh well, welcome to the new Seattle.

Literally no reason to live here anymore.
