This is also coincidentally how the math works on big box stores.

  • Big box parking lot/strip mall opens
  • Save $100 on groceries annually
  • Pay $150 extra in taxes and gas to maintain and drive on an additional 10 miles of road
  • Local options shut down, prices go up, and it takes 5 extra minutes to get to box store with increased traffic.
  • Box store eventually closes due to not being in suburb anyway.
