The corner store solution is so bogus. Plano has tons of under utilized commercial space. Practically every intersection has 4 corners of partially vacant huge strip centers. People here choose to frequent the newer nicer always hip and usually chain oriented strip centers near the freeways (shops at legacy, legacy west) at the expense of supporting the interior commercial districts.
So, I would say until traffic gets much worse people would not support the corner stores.
- GavinMcG 8y ago"Corner store" doesn't mean a store at the corner of an intersection. It means the store you can walk to from your home, with many of the things you might need day to day. The term implies more density, rather than just being closer.
- JJMcJ 8y agoLike Manhattan were almost every block with apartments will have a small store.
- xellisx 8y agoA lot places in N. Texas is like that. I see lots of unused commercial space in Tarrant County. I've seen places built with in the last 10 years that it's hard to get someone to occupy it in the first place, or for more than 6 months. With all the available commercial space in some of these cities, it amazes me to see new spaces still being built.
