Let's walk forward some more. Every restaurant in the country goes out of business and stops paying rent. People still want to eat out, so when it becomes legal to serve that market again new restaurants will reopen - and likely with cheaper rent.

Those unemployed cooks and wait staff won't be unemployed for long, and perhaps throwing money at commercial rents isn't the best way to help them.
