Urban renewal projects

Many cities, rent asunder by the rent control law are ugly and in bad state of disrepair.  Many landlords do not want to upgrade/renovate their buildings because their rents are frozen.  But many cities, if they want to move forward, increase revenues, increase the number of tourist arrivals, must have urban renewal as a project. (That is innovation right).  We can help sustain economic development and growth

How does it bring more business:

1.  Economic activity   construction, construction materials supply, transport, workers,  building permits, certificates of occupancy,  thus more jobs

2.  Investments

3.  Building and construction loans

4.  Tourism

More real estate taxes from new buildings

     1.  Preferred lending rate for urban renewal from Govt banks

     2.  Tax holidays for new buildings or renovated buildings;
