No Vacancy
from Radio Free Bay Ridge Hosted by Radio Free Bay Ridge
The stores are closing! The Avenues are vacant! Or are they? Today, we're talking Storefront Vacancy rates. Join us as co-host Erik interviews our other co-host Dan, who has been walking around the neighborhood since January collecting some hyper-local data about our commercial vacancy rates. We'll learn what can lead us to think that there is a vacancy "crisis", what the actual numbers are, and how we can begin to move away from a narrative that centers the concerns of property owners and get back toward the concerns of mom-and-pop merchants. We'll also get a bit of data literacy about how storefront vacancy surveys are conducted, and how we classified and improved our data over time. ---- Check out the show notes for background info and bonus material Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook
