Starbucks Can't Rent EVERY Space
-
This article in the New Orleans Times Picayune is about another article in the New Yorker that asks whether gentrification might have an unfortunate side effect of creating empty storefronts due to increased rent. This is an issue that is happening everywhere, as the retail economy improves. You're seeing shopping centers and streets start to develop a kind of blight as local businesses are forced out by increased rent, but nobody steps forward to spend the kind of money the landlords want.
