@Jai Reddy:
Are Starbucks locations closing because of Amazon? What about restaurants, hair salons, the local flower shops where you want to pick flowers for tour wife on your way home from work, or the auto parts store where you have to go in and ask questions for guidance on what parts to buy for your repairs. Liquor stores?
Is Covid going to close the need for these services permanently? What about medical services in neighborhood retail spots? Dental services?
Please apply critical thinking.
When you say "apply critical thinking", your arrogance is on display and you look foolish. As I said in my post, there are several different kinds of commercial properties. But your example shows you need to learn about the market and current economy. All your examples have to do with retail. Other than the Walmarts and Targets of the world, retail is not going to survive. Malls are closing, department stores are filing for bankruptcy, and small stores can't compete with the selection, prices and convenience of Amazon.
The only retail locations that are going to stick around are service oriented places like Dry Cleaning, Tire Shop, Oil Change. Your examples like Starbucks started closing locations way before Covid b/c too many locations. Flower shops are not going to stick around b/c they make their money on big weddings and funerals. Guess what, not too many of those now. And you need to go into a store to ask for guidance??? The fact that you said that on a BP forum post, means you know that people find things out online. At least I hope so.
