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

     2.  Tax holidays for new buildings or renovated buildings;
