| Comment | Yes this is true, at least in the short/medium term. Once we're into "recovery", a trend we might see continue is a preference for eating out locally, potentially bursting the bubble of restaurants/bars located in the centre (or similar "destination" locations like shopping malls).
If this happens though, all the more reason for a big population injection in the centre. Any hospitality or retail which lingers in the centre will need a population to support it in the long term anyway. |
