[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure getting mad at AU is the solution.

Johnson's business was tailing off. AU offered them to continue at the same rate, but Johnsons declined and then turned around and falsely accused AU of raising the rents.

Sullivans hasn't been a viable business for more than a year. Between the pandemic and supply chain issues, their shelves have been almost bare.

It is sad, but as someone else noted above thread, the distributors etc are hedging against the little guy, and Sullivan's was rolled up in it.

But AU is the easy culprit.[/quote]

The "same rate" might be considered excessive and driven by greed, not simple fiduciary responsibility. To stab a business that was viable pre- the Covid Act of God and not give it time to re-establish itself is simply Grinchy. Would you feel the same if the street were destroyed by a hurricane and AU didn't provide time to recover? They are a huge landlord with enough properties in the area to show some flexibility and also understanding of the value these businesses provide to the same neighborhood they inhabit. Do AU students not buy each other flowers sometimes? Or art supplies?[/quote]
