The most prosperous twelve months ever, capping the country's fourth straight year of economic expansion, were attributable to the American consumer, "who continued spending as if there were no tomorrow." According to Time's economics lesson, consumers, business, and government "created a nonvicious circle: spending created more production, production created wealth, wealth created more spending." In this simplified Keynesian model of economic growth, "the consumer is the key to our economy." As R. H. Macy's board chair Jack Straus explained to Time's readers, "When the country has a recession, it suffers not so much from problems of production as from problems of consumption." And in prosperous times like today, "Our economy keeps growing because our ability to consume is endless.

  • Impact of Shopping Malls on Apartment Prices: the Case of Stockholm
    NJSR Special Series Vol. 5 Malmö Real Estate Research Conference 2020 Nordic Journal of Surveying and Real Estate Research Special Series, Vol. 5 (2020) 29–48 submitted 3 June 2020 revised 13 July 2020 revised 2 September accepted 8 September 2020 Impact of Shopping Malls on Apartment Prices: the Case of Stockholm Runfeng Long and Mats Wilhelmsson Division of Real Estate Economics and Finance KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Contact: [email protected] Abstract. The number of shopping malls, as an important type of commercial facility, is growing dramatically. They have gradually become one of the most dominant factors that can influence people’s daily lives as well as a city’s economic development. The willingness to pay for dwellings is also primarily associated with the surrounding commercial layout. Hence, it is of interest to apply a quantitative perspective to further investigate the relationship between shopping malls and housing prices. This study aims to analyse how the prices of condominiums are affected by proximity to shopping malls. Two aspects are considered and examined in the empirical research, namely proximity to a shopping mall and the number of shopping malls within a one-kilometre radius. We try to determine if there is any price premium for those apartments near a shopping mall or with more shopping malls in the neighbourhood. In this empirical study, 39 shopping malls in different locations in the county of Stockholm, Sweden, are utilised. The sample of transactions consists of more than 300,000 apartments. By using the traditional hedonic expansion model, the results show that there is an inverse relationship between apartment prices and distance to a shopping mall.

  • Ottery Draft Report Historical Cemetery Assessment of Parcel
    PRELIMINARY REPORT Historical and Cemetery Assessment for Parcel 175 of the Westbard Sector Plan Project Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland July 21, 2017 Introduction The Ottery Group has prepared this preliminary report on historical investigations into the associations between parcel 175, adjacent to the Westwood Tower Apartments in the Westbard area of Bethesda, Maryland, and the historical African American burying ground known as Moses Cemetery that was established in this immediate area in the early 1900s. The assessment consisted of compiling available research on the history of the area encompassing parcel 175, reviewing historical source materials, and an analysis of this research in order to evaluate and assess the likelihood for the Moses Cemetery to exist on parcel 175 and the degree to which modern land modifications have affected the cemetery. Extensive research on this parcel has already been carried out by the Montgomery County Planning Department between 2014 and 2017 in support of development of the county’s current Westbard Sector Plan (Montgomery County Department of Planning 2016a) and proposed development of the current property. Examination of this research by The Ottery Group was followed by consultation and additional primary documentary research. This preliminary report describes the initial effort responding to three questions: 1. What is known about the use of the parcel(s) as a cemetery, including its location, duration of operation, circumstances of closure, the number of persons interred there, and other pertinent details? Is there evidence for an earlier (i.e. pre-1911) cemetery associated with the property? 2. What actions or impacts occurred to the cemetery in association with construction activities prior to and after the 1958 sale of the land; and 3.
