It seems like once a year or so, I get on a soap box and rail about sq. ft. per capita as the main measurement for self-storage supply demand calculations.

This may be my last, because now is the time to rid ourselves of this benchmark as the main measurement because it more often than not, gives false data that has us owners make bad decisions.

Let me share my experience over the last year or so with you.
