That’s the point

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

Rent is definitely a factor along with interest rates but the article talks about it “The key reason why is to do with how retail properties are valued, which comes down to what the asking rent on the property.”.

The issue is that if you were getting 1000/wk and then the tenant left you now have a temporarily vacant property if you lower the rent and get someone back in at 600/wk now your property valuation is 40% less which matters a lot for loans.

It’s also worth noting that commercial leases are often much longer so they might be waiting for a rebound in the market before renting it out.

I think point is without the cast body section you could just replace broken parts which may be significantly less. In practice though I don’t think it matters that much. Small accidents hopefully don’t damage the frame and if they do it’s often a bit dubious repairing it.

Do people not keep the same number when they change phone companies?

Pretty sure they were gunning for insurance fraud.

There are slot limits that regulate that. This is just a policy to benefit domestic airlines while encouraging flights to airports other than Sydney and Melbourne.

This more because of the local planning in a lot of western countries. Authoritarian countries force housing through much easier

Nafta has restrictions around worker pay. Overall though it might be bad for auto workers in the US but much more beneficial to the average American.

The distinction is land vs capital. Plenty of economists talk about the problem you mention.

Controlling the natural resources a country and leasing it out it private companies is pretty standard practice in most non corrupt countries. Norway probably differs in that they capture more of the economic rent in part due to a more efficient tax and a share of public ownership.

It’s also pretty evident that we could not sustain the current population on preindustrial farming let alone hunter gathering.
