Too many businesses come here with stars in their eyes and optomism in their projections. And when they are not doing as expected they bad mouth TV rent structure. The rent rates for commercial property here in TV is no more expensive than in any other comparable quality shoping/mall location.
I am not propping up TV developers in any way, however, I do think it is unfair to the many, MANY successful businesses here in TV that are doing just fine and growing with the growth of TV.
It ain't the rent!!!

You must know many small business people in TV. I think when people open up a business with their hard earned money they do have "Stars in their Eyes" as most people do when they open up a business putting all their savings into their "dream". I am guessing it's the ole American dream.
Opening up a business is so different than working for a company and then after many years of hard work getting a pension. Everyone has their own "dream" in life.
