@alina@puppygirlhornypost2 American urban planning strongly leans to "super big stores in a few places" rather than "just normal sized stores every couple of blocks"
@alina@puppygirlhornypost2 well the whole planning is already done with suburbia in mind, so it's already difficult to place stores near everyone's house (you can't build them in there)
and it's not like you need to convince big chain stores to pursue that model, they already get to save money but having bigger and more centralized shopping locations
@alina@puppygirlhornypost2 there's a lot to it. there's also the fact that in a lot of American towns there's strong regulations on how much parking space you need to have available for your store, so building inside towns gets expensive from the start, just for the sheer amount of parking space needed.
