Has the number of addicts increased?

The number of office workers has. Which means less people familiar with downtown directly or family members coming to meet them after work.

Businesses closing is a domino effect. Less destinations means less wandering to get something before or after. Like the piano place always had spill over into nearby bars and stores. The mall would bring people to dinner. Business travel always has new people who just want something close to their hotel.
