I'm at an age where I realise people get what they deserve.

People stop buying from mom and pop stores and go to the big box store. Then everybody buys shyt online from a few retailers them complain.

It's like when I'm on YouTube and people complain why a song isn't on Spotify. When all they need to do is purchase a song for themselves. Then complain that artists don't get paid
Literally all these cities would have to do is force the stores into smaller footprints, shave off the tax benefits and repurpose them so these stores dont completely steal so brazenly, and force the stores to share space with denser housing and the mixed use developments.

Theres so many ways to lessen the burden these places cause, without banning them. I’m not saying they have to disappear but to ignore the impact they have had is naive.

But they won't. Not until the horse is 200 meters away, galloping at full speed.

Too many back handers have already been taken. The ones planning to fix things will be compromised or powerless.
