The commercial landlords have to be getting nervous about what businesses are going to be around to fill them.
We’ll only need so many weed shops.
Food is going big box fast food or ghost kitchen delivery. Clothing retail is hanging on by a thread. Even grocery is getting a lot of delivery orders that might as well come from the warehouse and not the store. Furniture has reached mostly warehouse level retail or flat pack. Bookstores will be gone.
Main streets will be banks, a cafe and a few bars.
