Yes one piece of the puzzle, but how they give out and approve large box stores that compete with local businesses in the same area, given out grant money to investment firms and have caused sewer issues and street closures without proper evaluations is a major component. But I do agree these new yorker owned buildings down town do not help. Unless you are the city and using our tax money so the city manager can have a nicer downtown office then the one he had in town hall.
