Housing costs spiked pretty much everywhere too. There has been talk of a restaurant bubble for years and not enough was done about affordable housing. The other thing is during the restaurant bubble, it cost owners little to be open during slow times because it came at the cost of the workers' tips. That was good for convenience-obsessed customers who could easily get a table but it obviously wasn't sustainable.
