The prices of real estate are crazy-expensive these days, mainly because of the inflation that has been stimulated by the huge amount of dollars printed in 2020.

As the Federal government became involved to "help" stimulate the economy by guaranteeing bank loans, via SBA or VA or FHA (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae), more laws were implemented to help decrease loan risk, increase asset value and life expectancy. 

Don't see tenants winning anywhere (but at least the economy was stimulated, right?).

@Robert Ellis - Oftentimes buildings are zoned with ground floor retail to stimulate the growth of walkable "downtown" areas.  

@Colton Boyer What is really driving job growth and population growth in Kansas City is a highly educated workforce. (34.3% of the population has a 4 year degree or higher which is above the national average), the business incubators that are stimulating start ups and the low cost of living. 

I do not wish to offend anyone, but rather stimulate discussion and hear what everyone else's opinion on the subject matter.Quick backstory on how I got here. 

The people I know with crazy amounts of money have to be stimulated intellectually and need some kind of charities, new business ventures, traveling, etc. 

They're hoping to stimulate the economy and restore confidence because rates influence consumer and business confidence, at least that's what I think they're trying to do, let's see if it's enough to counter what's been going on.

We have a lot of debt and a limited ability to stimulate our economy due to interest rates being so low.

Now if this is the trigger for a systematic recession over the next year that might cause things to significantly decline over the coming couple of years  but that is a long way off.Trump will borrow every dollar imaginable to try to keep the market going and that will have bad effects down the road and the fact that rates are already at zero makes it very difficult to stimulate more.
