I think we will see a small business "renaissance" of sorts: - many local small business owners are aging baby boomers, they will be exiting + retiring; that's opportunity to back-fill - the culture among younger people (millennial and younger) seems to be more focused on employment over entrepreneurship; they seem to prefer the safety of stable employment over taking risk on their own (I have no data backing this, just anecdotal experience...but I think its bc of student loans) - stable employment with a big company is not so stable anymore, most of human history leans entrepreneurial, big corps are recent phenomenon I could keep going but I will stop there.
