Empty space in Hornsby

Here's one PRIME example of the many vacant spaces in Hornsby.
Okay I know some time in the future units and shops are suppose to be going up on this site but this shop has been empty for months!

Today in the Advocate a representative of the CWA was quoted about the problem of finding empty community space in Hornsby. No the problem is the word COMMUNITY.

Apparently whoever owns all these vacant unleased properties would rather have them stand empty then offer them GRATIS or at a LOW rent to COMMUNITY organizations.

The landlords certainly are not reading the Advocate?

Who owns this building? Why can't you offer a temporary lease to the CWA or some other LOCAL community organzation ?

There are plenty of vacant properties home and business available for rent and sale in the Hornsby area that I see advertised over and over again in the Advocate.

I suspect a great deal of housing and small business problems would be solved if rents were a lot lower? Yes landlords you are entitled to make a profit but how can you from empty space?

Next time probably a flower photo !
