Have any of the new towers in Kitchener managed to attract and keep any commercial tenants that weren't a restaurant or bar?

Well, Kaleidoscope Realtors or whatever they are called are moving into Charlie West. That's something, yeah?

Joking aside you're completely right. With real estate so messed up these days, it's not surprising few people can afford to open up spaces in urban cores. But that just goes to show you how broken the neoliberal capitalist system that we keep perpetuating is. I'm not a proponent of that system but sometimes it feels like accelerationism (and obviously, I'm using a more pro-Marxist definition of this, rather than a far-right one) is the only viable answer for change, because none of the patch work or trickle down solutions people advocate for has done anything to improve anything because it still relies on the very system that is causing problems. It's like we've got a really...shoddy, unstable wooden deck we've kept trying to repair with no conclusion, so the only real answer is to blow it all up and start with fresh ideas.
