My frustrating search for retail space in Detroit

That's not her point, though. She's not criticizing onerous government licensing regimes, she's criticizing speculative property investors who refuse to do basic upkeep or offer their buildings for rent on reasonable terms.

Did you read her post? Her requirements seem pretty basic to me.

To be clear, my requirements for a building are a solid roof, HVAC that works, a bathroom, and a relatively clean and open space.

I'm hard pressed to think of a market niche for a commercial building with a leaky roof and nonfunctioning HVAC. What sort of tenant could possibly find a use for such a structure?
