Gee, I wonder how much he and JPMorgan are invested in commercial real estate.

… and car manufacturers, and oil companies, and tire companies, and the fast food franchises lining every freeway exit…

Ill give you a hint: JPMC owns one of the largest buildings in the United States, second only to the Pentagon. Their Columbus location is a multi-mile long, 6 story, repurposed Mall. And thats just one of 8 Non-Branch locations they use in Columbus.

I know dozens of people who work there. Most hate it

Parking is atrocious and you have to walk like 10 minutes from your spot to the building. And then I’m the building another 5 to your office

Oh and you thought you were leaving at 5? It’s a 30 minute commute just from the parking lot to the first street because of the traffic

Lol. So accurate. The streets to I70 are fucked, then you get on I70 and its backed up all the way to 270. Awful lmao.

Know what’s a good idea? Taking the two most important freeways in the city and having their on and off ramps overlap, and it’s for only 200 feet total. Won’t cause any traffic

Hang on!

If it was a shopping mall, surely it had really good parking. Why does everyone go to shopping malls instead of town centres? It easy to park!

They must have actively tried to break it!

It’s mostly due to the sheer amount of people who work in the building. The building holds over 10k employees. Problem is, everyone wants to park near their office space so they dont have to walk a mile or two to get to the other side of the building. So it gets cluttered very quickly around key lots.

Also, there’s no parking garages. It was a flat lot until a few yesra ago. Now its a flat lot with a second story.

Shopping malls tend to have choke points where the rapidly flowing road traffic transitions to more random car park traffic. Not a problem if a few thousand people are coming and going as they please throughout the day but thousands of people arriving together at 9:00 and leaving together at 17:00… they’re just not designed for that sort of thing.
