The argument is that on-demand, internet delivery, and small-square-footage "essentials" chains will handle the basics (walgreens and target have been doing this) and the volume (dispensing the need for big boxes.) Those who needed to go to the big store for basic things will still get those basic things, probably from the same big store - they just won't go there. Pretty much every single bulk goods store and big box store has been rolling out a delivery service of some sort and the demand is such that even the firms that aren't doing that themselves are seeing online concierge services that do that for people (instacart/google express).

Since nearly all online revenue (something like 90%) and sales taxes don't get returned to the municipality, cities will have look elsewhere for that revenue.

Won't Trump killing the internet put a stop to this?

People are buying stuff online instead, malls dying say little about capitalism.

Maybe the "worse than 2008" is the jobs that will be slain

Six feet below, I guess. This really is horrifying. This and climate change are really a perfect storm of complete civic disasters.

So what's the timeline on being machine gunned by 1%er deathbots? 50 years? 30 years?
