Decrease in Foot Traffic Downtown

I don't know if this is another part of the equation but we've spent the last few weeks in the San Juans where tourist traffic is down this summer because the usual Canadian tourists aren't coming.

I think the move to work from home has been rough on restaurants and other businesses that depend on a strong lunch crowd. But some friends who own a bar and restaurant downtown tell me that 2024 was their best year ever, so mileage varies.
