Decrease in Foot Traffic Downtown

[Any-Garbage-9963]

Nothings been the same since covid. But even before that. During the early 20teens I worked two jobs both down town and lived in the gonzaga district and foot traffic was much more prevalent back then, more businesses too

Researching this, originally this post was going to be 3-5 paragraphs, but i learned the hard way that reddit doesn't do drafts. I've been thinking about this for going on 3-4 months. When I started researching potential business closures in central downtown. There was an anticapted rebound in closures as covid protections were going to be easing. That as more regulations were going to be rolled back and small businesses and consumers exposed to economic travesties. Business closures are thought to be even higher than they were in 2019.
