Both companies are owned by a large Japanese conglomerate. They got lucky with indeed, and have used little of its unbelievable market share to solidify it's position and improve the product. Indeed, properly managed, would print money and go parabolic as a stock. Instead it's just sat there because both sites suck and exist on inertia.

Sorry, $45m and a starter home which barely exists is like 500k minimum? So one can buy one of the biggest buildings in the city for 90x a starter home? Wow.
It must to reflect the current high vacancy reality of a business model (commercial real estate) serving a base that doesn't now and is unlikely to exist in the future; white collar, on-site work. Someone much bigger than a local CEO would have bought it (REIT, another bank, etc. but they're already nervous about similar real estate on their books). Many potential commercial property buyers don't care if it's a warzone if there is money to be made off leasees.
It's funny how the permissive zoning for businesses hollowed out cities thanks to zero residential or sustainable community development, and city governments everywhere didn't GAF the last 50 years as long as that sweet tax money was coming in. Meanwhile, downtowns are dead and there is a gaping hole of residential housing--especially efficient, dense residential housing. Gee, wonder what the solution would have been? This is the real reason the city of Portland is forcing its employees back on site--they don't want to look bad not having skin in the game in their own city.
I was on the fence about attending a world cup (it would be my first) when the sleaze has been trying to say it's "his" for the last year. Since FIFA has been corrupt forever it probably means I won't be able to enjoy it as much because I'll be considering what I'd be endorsing. It's disappointing, I've wanted to go to one since I was a kid but considering there will probably be ICE raids in the concourse or psychopaths trying to drive trucks into the crowd to kill the [insert group] I'll have to forgo it.
I'm surprised I have heard anything about boycott here--therr was a ton of push for that during Qatar build up around human rights, and nothing for this? I'd hope the US gets boycotted by whole nations ala East German/Russian Olympics.

What a life, lived.
Thanks for this link. So amazing to get to see real convo not from corporate media.
The US already state sponsors capitalism with tax breaks--only instead of understanding the race for better cars didn't end in 1983, US automakers have poured most of that into share buybacks, dividends, executive comp and other things that leech long-term growth prospects from the company.
The Democrats need no further help getting to an impotent place.
Between skeletal structure, evolution and biology we have a damn good idea. While we may not know exactly what skin color adapted to a given period 70 million years ago in a certain region or how much feathers some might have had I guess I understood we had a compelling body of ideas drawn from research at this point for many species. What are the parts you're referring to that are so unknown?

I love a good article, but sometimes the visualization is the easiest way to quickly show something to make a point for someone otherwise unfamiliar. I'm actually going to include this in an index for a presentation I'm going to do at my local city transportation and safety committee to show that the problem isn't unique and there are choices to be made. If I go to try to make a change and provide a bunch of teams of paper, that makes a different impact.
There's a reason propagandists generally use photos video(since film has existed): it can multiply the impact and in some cases make an impact and reach people who would ignore written content.
