If you called with a serious offer, do you think you would be turned down?

Though I guess stuff like this happens even in sf. Que Tal -- a coffee shop in mission -- got kicked out by their landlord massively increasing rent in August 13. I walked past their old location a month ago and it was still empty, and it didn't look like there was construction going on. So the landlord has eaten 17+ months of rent so far.



In the case of the beautiful old bank building that sat vacant for 20 years. There wasn't even a number to call.

Everybody just walked past it for decades saying "I wonder what if anything they'll ever do with that place?".

I'm assuming you had to know the "right people" to even get an appointment to purchase or lease, but I'm not sure why.


Seems like potential gains aren't as motivating as actual costs.
