Comment on Grim note in Contessa Balmain window shows why Sydney is broken
Railison@aussie.zone 1 year agoYeah I definitely think about this too. A string of vacant shops is like a cancer to a shopping strip: they just keep growing and growing in number.
OTOH if you lowered the rent temporarily to fill the shops, basically wouldn’t it be a case of a rising tide lifting all boats as you reinvigorate the area?

Shopping centres might do that or offer other incentives maybe like paying for advertising costs or something. If the shops are owned independently then it’s a bit harder because they need to cooperate.
