I'm pretty interested in what cities are going to look like after retail and commercial real estate falls apart. Just housing and restaurants/bars?

There's still a need for things like clothes and home goods and eventually real estate will be desperate enough to put rents low enough to where normal people could afford them again. maybe. or hell will freeze over. who knows. nothing is rational.

Better a street is filled with a bunch of stores instead of being vacant and dead imo

Must be the leftist policies making them closer and not underperforming retail chains saving money by closing down stores in one of the most expensive areas to rent a store on the planet

Better a street is filled with a bunch of stores instead of being vacant and dead imo Landlords in general are just parasitic drag on the whole economy. Business mostly rent their spaces and then they have to keep up with the rentier's demands for more money for absolutely no value-add, meaning they pass those costs on and go out of business because folks don't want to or can't pay the higher prices.

There have been multiple businesses in my mid sized city that have closed down in the last year or so with the news article about it straight up saying "Our lease was up and with the new terms it just didn't make sense to stay open". Plus a few other businesses that moved from 20+ year old storefronts to a new location across town because of rent hikes.

it’s not unusual to have flagship stores in cities which lose money consistently thanks to the insane rent if you can make it up on lots of store elsewhere, but what’s the point if even those stores lose money because teens have no disposable income anymore

Any time a store is like "oh we're closing because of crime" If you look just a shade deeper, its always this or the store workers were unionizing (starbucks closed a ton of stores because of this but tried to claim it was CRIME)

Every time a restaurant closes down here the article covering it says "couldn't afford rent, couldn't find workers" and the stories somehow get twisted into "the homeless are scaring diners away"

if theyre closing because of "crime" and its not unionization, its absolutely because the space is too expensive (insurance and/or rent) and they just want to jerk off cops and not look like failures
