A clear picture of real estate and business in South Carolina.
Finding out that a company added three hundred jobs is easy. Finding out whether that company is healthy takes actual work, and so does learning what five years of sales did to the submarket around it, or why the money landed here instead of Charlotte.
I write about the second part. How businesses in South Carolina are really doing, where the market has been heading over years rather than quarters, and the incentives behind decisions that look like preference until you find the tax rule. It comes out of public records, and I say where every number came from.
