I keep asking myself why this is happening here or if its common. I keep seeing more and more banks and gas stations being built here. Like, why!? We have a shit ton already. You can’t go a block without seeing a gas station. And why the hell do we ned physical banks? 90% of money is fake and digital. It has to be a land grab so they can own everything in the name of “we need banks”.
High col area means buildings are disappearing and being redeveloped as condos around me.
Gas stations are slowly dying as the land gets too expensive to justify a low traffic gas station, and increasing EV popularity is further shrinking their appeal.
Banks seem to be infiltrating stupid places now, like fucking indoor shopping malls.
There’s nothing like seeing a fucking BANK to make you not interested in visiting an area. If I don’t bank there I will never walk in. If I do bank there I will walk in once or twice a year. Such a shitty use of high visibility retail space.
One wing of my dying mall is entirely banks, dentists, and cell phone stores. Why would anyone want to stroll through that?
