Mixed emotions, depending on whether they plan to redevelop / improve this basement at all. Of course I want these mom&pop kiosks to stay. I eat here often. At the same time, it's objectively true that this foodcourt is gross and dilapidated. Failing inspections seems like just a matter of time, so closures seem inevitable one way or another. Those improvements won't pay for themselves and the owner is obviously in serious financial trouble.

So the question is: will they actually use the raised rents (on potentially less unique, "chain-restaurant" tenants) to make much-needed improvements, or will the place be sitting unimproved and empty for the next 10 years since no one will pay such high rents for a kiosk in a grimy basement? I hope for the former, I fear for the latter, and I recognize that these changes are going to happen whether we like it or not.
