[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did someone press a red button that activated the AU defense force? Pretty incredible series of defensive posts. [/quote]

What does AU have to do with this? [/quote]

They’re the leading destroyer of small independent businesses in upper northwest. [/quote]

Ahold/Bozzuto, the owners of Cathedral Commons, are close behind.  They promised that Sullivan’s, Shamali’s and a number of small business tenants that once rented space at the location could come back at discounted rents.  Then they reneged on the promise, because they want chain stores and corporate restaurant groups.

The only developer/operator that tries to get independent businesses as tenants is BF Saul, which also designs and builds quality projects.  (Compare the quality of Park Van Ness on Connecticut with Cathedral Commons, for example).  But Saul is the exception, sadly.[/quote]

Interesting. I maintain that the loophole.is a big problem in abetting these other landlords behaviors. Have you noticed how often properties have sat empty after the small business is driven out? The landlord writes off the rent as a loss I guess. [/quote]

Does anyone know exactly what/where this loophole is? Would love to have a cite to it. [/quote]
