".... Collier-Towle Real Estate in Minneapolis shows vacancies for the nearly 26 million square feet of office space available downtown .....the amount of sublease space bumps the vacancy rate up to more than 21 percent. That's more than four times the rate for what's considered a stable lease market." (MPR early 2003)
Brauer: This story is two years old! Beware selective information. Heller: The following story is only one day old! Beware obtuse journalists. "According to the most recent market numbers from United Properties, direct office vacancy in downtown Minneapolis is still 20.9 percent, or 23.2 percent counting available sublease space". (Finance and Commerce, 2/3/05) Heller: It's gotten WORSE in the past two years Mr. Brauer. From 21% to 23.2% vacant, including sub-lease space. There is no hope for any improvement in Minneapolis until journalists start doing their jobs. Our form of government CANNOT work without honest and timely information. I trust the people, but only if they have FACTS upon which to base decisions.
