The Not-So-Business Districts. | Started by: Fernando_Torres on Feb 26, '11 20:49 |
While travelling around our marvellous cities, i couldn't help but recognise something that is not so marvellous. In the past year or so we have seen a rapid decline in activity within our city business districts. The lack of activity there seems to be getting worse each day. I am not talking about specific cities, i am talking about all of them. I decided to do a little project to highlight the situation and in no particular order here are my findings:

Just out of curiousity can you tell us how many of those businesses are ran by dead people? I know myself I am not a fan of attending businesses that have no living person tending it. It's hard to get service from the dead I find. |

Melis, they are owned, not ran by dead people. Unless of course the business has been taken on by their next of kin, or someone else. Which a lot of them have not. |

They can be owned but not ran by anyone hence why there would be no one attending it. It's just my opinion anyways. |

Hard as it is for me to say...she makes a good point...
Laughs at his little joke before continuing speaking
I myself usually will avoid a business if the owner is dead and it's obvious their son or daughter didn't take over the running of that business. No sense visiting somewhere that I won't get service in. |

Fair question in my opinion, Mr. Torres. The statistics include businesses owned by dead people, which might not even be visited anymore due to what you just stated; "Unless of course the business has been taken on by their next of kin, or someone else. Which a lot of them have not." |

Silvio shook his head out of embarrassment and walked over to Mr. Torres, it had been a while since he had been out here, and had forgotten the old ways of attending speeches like these, he smiled at Mr. Torres and nodded slightly. |

I agree with the city hall thing, also I've been to LA and noticed that alot of the "dead" businesses have been burned down. But it would be alot better if City Hall stepped in. |

Silvio nodded at SINGER and smiled, "I'll make sure to have a poster outside my office to let our young ones know where to go if they need some educating on how to play their role, so to speak. Appreciate all the work you put into it Sir, and sincerely hope those in dire need of your school, attend to your classes. Much respect to you, Mr. SINGER." He said and patted SINGER on the back. |
