Trying to understand what you are going for here. In my experience in 2 separate cities, lack of ground floor retail leads to barren neighborhoods of luxury condos that aren’t in walking distance of anything meaningful. And frequently, the ground floor retail that is put in is priced unreasonably so as to stay vacant. But you think that we should encourage everyone to overprice so as to increase the put option value? And you like the idea of vacant space?
