We need places to store our shit when we're homeless and living out of our cars.

Yup just because you can’t participate in the grand private equity bro siphon via the “joy” of home ownership doesn’t mean we don’t have an alternate market solution for you. Everyone gets to play regardless of housing or healthcare status just keep payin’, these pjs don’t redecorate themselves.

NGL having a storage unit for my shit and living out of my car was an awesome plan when I found myself in that situation. Grinded it out for 3 months to save the money needed for my next apartment and never looked back.

Modern MBA has a good episode on the economics of self storage and why it's exploding as an industry.

The building that's there is basically 2 stories tall. Proposal would keep the facade and build way up.

YES but they want to add height and depth to it. That stretch should be retail.

We are headed into a recession, I can't think of a worse time to build a multi use retail development in a new location

Also retail would lead to much more traffic in the area compared to storage
