This presumes oxygen in the ecosystem - in this case affordable commercial rents, well trafficked retail locations etc. In their absence local maxima can create all kinds of exploitative socially detrimental businesses (e.g.: casinos, betting shops, dollar stores, lots held empty to maintain property values etc.
It's also circular - a culture sustain a given hobby if that hobby is reliant on venues that no longer exist, aren't safe or customer friendly etc.
