Its quite nice actually, though now we have competitors around the corner like:http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/apa/1102426928.htmlThe guy across the street from me that is a good comparison to my property lowered his rents to $1900 and has had his place on the market for about 2 weeks.

, you must appreciate your competitors, they are the ones that drive you to succeed!

He personally did not attend the auctions- He had a few people working for him that attended & there were times his people would bid up a property to keep it away from competitors, i.e. take it off the market.  

I don't see how you could stop this unless you have good connections in this industry and can really attract that talent away from your competitor. 

I am not talking about swipe at it cleaning, I mean you can almost eat off of every sg ft of the property inside and out.

I love when a customer shows me a competitors bid and tells me " Beat this price and the job is yours"    ..........  

Business go south and will vacate the space, storefronts close because of online competitors, people work from home, or vacate restaurant spaces to own a food truck, etc etc..  

The square footage this staircase saved made the bedroom on that floor much larger than any competitor’s home could offer with a traditional staircase.

There's always competitors in the market place.

.- You can't compare 2023 to what happen in 1950 LOLIn 1950 India just got independence, in 2023 India is putting their man to the moonWhat does it mean is that USA as country has the whole new competitor in the world, in all area, so US is no longer the big supremacy in the world- there's educational democratization in the world where any other country could overlap US in anything esp tech landscape, even South Korea could produce more sophisticated semiconductor than the US- If you think one guy can change the world, that's so 1938 paragdigm.- I guess you'd guys start educating among yourself how to make young people in this country going to unversity again, with good and cheap price LOL
