There is something to be said about the potential in turning otherwise dead real estate into active living spaces like SUSO pitched, and the smash success of the Pitikwe skate park in Winnipeg's Portage Place is a real living demonstration of that fact, as it was hugely successful on its opening day and still is, partly because it filled a niche that the only other indoor skatepark that was around previously is religiously-affiliated and wasn't really an all-faiths and/or agnostic facility. Both Vince and Michele do have a cautionary point about SUSO's model though, real estate is highly cyclical and the conditions that currently exist today where it's relatively cheap may not exist in a couple or a few years down the road.
