Can’t they just build a garage?
At the town’s expense, of course.
The amount of dumb shit little towns and cities come up with to “attract business” that never does never cease to astound me.
No one when driving down the road sees an orange and white truck and goes “man, I never ever want to shop at any business in this entire town because that truck is there”.
Mauldin is a speedbump on the way to Greenville, with a pop of something like 25k. The reason it doesn’t attract business is because it’s one of a zillion small population municipalities surrounding a larger metro area. Greenville gets all the business because it’s where everything is. Relatively speaking, at least.
Yeah that sounds about right. Zoning boards have way too much power in the us. Property rights have just degraded continuously over the years.
How are people going to move to the city if there is no easy place to rent moving trucks from?
wtf is ugly about a truck with the name U HAUL on it?
Whoa, this place is 5 minutes from me.
yeah fuck those lil kings wanting to run out an existing business. From the looks of the business from the video that looks pretty well put together, also if some business is wanting to setup shop in hicksville, with people moving in, where are they goin to turn in their U-Haul truck?
stupid fucks run that town.
Amortization is an unconstitutional practice, which you are protected from by the fifth amendment; it violates the “due process of law” the “just compensation” clauses. These people need a lawyer.
This “Institute” is a right-wing organization that’s trying to masquerade under a name that’s similar to the National Institute of Justice.
Their previous cases include:
– Fighting Ohio to force state money to be used for private religious schools.
– Fighting in Arizona to uphold a law to give state money to Christian schools.
– Struck down a campaign finance law in Arizona that sought to balance the amount of money that each candidate could use in the race.
– Fought in Montana to make sure that religious schools got state funding.
– Fought in Maine to remove the ‘non-sectarian’ requirement for school funding.
If you trust what they’re telling you in this video, send me a message. I’ve got some great investment opportunities for you.
I love that the Napa store has box trucks parked out in front of it right next door. Same basic “trucks”. But those are OK.
The Mayor also nailed one thing right. 50,000 cars drive by every day. The trucks are their own advertising. They know where their local UHaul dealer is. For a UHaul dealer, you can’t beat the visibility from that and somebody saying “I need a truck, let’s grab one just down the road”.

oh no, a business!
Does this city want to see a KillDozer? Because that’s how you get a KillDozer.
This is a fluff piece for the far-right “Institute for Justice”. If it were really as simple as “we don’t want to see trucks from the road” the business could just park the trucks in/behind their existing garage.
While they’re sticking up for the little guy in many cases, their end-goal is for-profit healthcare, for-profit schools, for-profit politics, pretty much the entire libertarian nightmare state.
Yo Mauldin, your town is literally just stroads and strip malls. The whole town is ugly.
I guess I’d be willing to give it boring or utilitarian, but a U Haul is the least of your issues. Maybe the U Hauls are too much of a reminder people are leaving.
However, if the private developer decides to initiate a project in the city, won’t that create more jobs?
One last comment, it just hit me. In the drone video, there are brand new apartments next door (probably the “developer”, but, who knows).
For all those people that are moving in/out, where do you think they are going to get a moving truck from? They obviously own their own large truck living in an apartment. No, they are going next door at the UHaul of course. Need to get their cars fixed? At the same place. This is a GREAT service to those apartment dwellers.
I’m just amazed at how illogical and one sided this is. It feels like there is something else going on behind the scenes like the developer feels he/a friend got a bad deal there or they wouldn’t negotiate discount pricing for his properties. So attack the business thru zoning by having lunch with some officials.
God damn South Carolina scum.
Well I find Mayor Terry Merritt to be very unpleasant to the eye. Can we move him out of way too please?
JI is libertarian caca
Dollars to pesos if they do close the Uhaul business one of the city council members or one of his friends will open up a new one in a different area.
I Street Viewed their location. The only thing that could make that street/stroad area attractive would be a thorough carpet bombing followed by a total re-haul of the civic infrastructure.
Nicest looking U-Hauls I ever saw.
Imagine what a twat the developer is. Probably never worked a day in their life.
I see a Killdozer in this towns future.
That should not be a main street. I see more cars than people.
If this video is true, fuck that town. But, this video plays like a bad campaign video. I’m calling bullshit on it right now. There is way too much information we aren’t getting here.
Also, Uhaul rental places tend to be some of the biggest schisters around in my experience, so I’m immediately doubtful of anything that comes out of their mouths. Maybe that’s wrong, but experience can be a bitch.
Damn that was really well shot and the sound was crystal clear.
They should get Uhaul involved.
