Residential and business rent can be disconnected. Isn't that what happened in SF? Massive oversupply of one because they're not interchangeable.

In Kansas City there are some highly gentrified city neighborhoods but then a block or two away a bunch of old warehouse-type factory buildings for rent.

You could be right, I honestly don't know. The media here tend to mostly cover the residential side of things. You do see stories of businesses like bars and bookshops being forced out when an investor buys a whole building that includes both commercial and residential spaces.
