• " Roseville's roadside attraction," St. Paul Pioneer Press, May 11, 2009. "Developers have a phrase: highest and best use. It means the land's most profitable purpose, a verdict of the marketplace. 'The economics reflect what a site is, or does,' says Tom Musil, a real estate professor at the University of St. Thomas. And the economics of the Snelling strip, Musil says, seem ideal for national fast-food franchises that require lots of traffic and marketing muscle. 'Whereas a family-owned business probably wouldn't have the drawing power and the visibility to reflect the highest and best use of the site,' said Musil, director of the Shenehon Center for Real Estate. 'They'd reach the time when taxes would be so high, and the business operations don't merit the cost of that location,' he added. 'So somebody will come in, like a fast-food operator, or a developer, and pay a premium for that property.'" https://www.twincities.com/ci_12328648
