What Republican leaders, voters and pundits are failing to communicate before Election Day is that the primary driver of local job creation and national economic prosperity is still the quality and vibrancy of America’s commercial real estate offerings.

Wherever we go, America’s core job-creation metrics are in direct correlation to the functional availability of American towns’ commercial real estate corridors. This is because each location is still a job-producing, economy-lifting, taxpaying opportunity zone or business.

The problem is that outdated commercial architecture, crumbling condos, dilapidated gas stations, seedy strip centers, dreary offices and now gang-run apartment complexes have oversaturated our nation’s underwhelming built environments.



Of course, none of these ideas comes to mind during Kamala Harris’ scripted mainstream media interviews or debates.

The good news is that no one in politics today knows more about improving the conditions of income-producing properties than Donald Trump.

This is why it’s time for conservative business leaders nationwide to emphatically embrace local commercial property improvements while focusing on the utter incompetence of every local zoning and permitting office (all run, sadly, by corrupt, inner-city Democrats).

What’s worse are the Biden-Harris administration’s economy-crushing interest rates, insurance prices and proposed taxation of unrealized capital gains.

Instead of spending trillions on foreign wars (or more Clinton-concocted Russia hoaxes and Jan. 6 shams), let’s adopt Mr. Trump’s common sense from coast to coast, and simply make commercial real estate great again right here on our own soil.
