@aral In contrast, look at what happened to Red Lobster. Ostensibly they were underutilizing valuable property by not generating all the profit that you could/should from that property. So the private equity system cannibalizes them and, eventually, some other businesses end up with that property, but I haven't found any evidence or even a claim that the businesses that are now occupying ex-Red Lobsters are any more profitable than Red Lobster.
