I have a lot of vacant retail near me and they're nice spots, but the leases are all sky high. For whatever reason the folks making decisions about what goes in there are happy to sit and wait for yet another Noodles & Company or Chipotle, nails salon, but that's kinda it... and if not those places, empty.
I'd love to find good ways to encourage local shops and things beyond just the business with the highest margins.
