This won't make any difference to the number of retail jobs. People will buy the same amount of stuff and the retail industry will stay the same size. Would just be moving retail from one location to another.
- ChuckMcM 3y agoThat is a counter intuitive take, care to expand? Clearly it absolutely will "increase" the number of retail jobs in the neighborhood where the storefront is by virtue of a vacant space has zero jobs available and a leased space has non-zero number of jobs available. In the SF Bay Area that would also increase sales tax revenue for the city where the storefront was if they were selling taxable goods. Another subtlety is that "storefront" sounds like "retail" but it really is just a place to do business, it could be a mini-mart, a clothing boutique, or some other goods for sale location, but it could also be a service business like a restaurant, a salon, or pet grooming Etc.
