Riverside’s Deluxe Laundry Building Condemned

[Tacachale]

So what's the angle here?

Accurately reporting a story of interest in the Urban Core.

Not the angle of the reporting. The angle of who led to this building (part of) being condemned.

I wasn't able to get a comment from the building owner, for what that's worth. My impression is that he's only putting work into the strip when there are tenants essentially ready to go, as happened with Snap Fitness.

One step forward, 3 steps back.

The list of demolitions (and probable demolitions) outstrips the list of new construction in the core this year.

Great. Adjacent neighborhoods/residences would be better off without these latent detraction/land use & rezone substantial deviation *Request* nodes.
I considered buying a home across the street there.......good call.

What?

Who benefits from razing downtown other than demolition companies?

Sometimes a building's useful (and economically sustainable) future in its current zone ends, and it makes the most sense to rezone and do something different. How is an empty lot going to be better there?
