It gets worse, actually. On top of everything, those big box businesses pay less people less money to work there, cost more, and pay less in taxes to the point that it actually costs cities money to have them. The cost of maintaining infrastructure for a single business in such a massive parking lot with nothing else far outweighs the tax revenue. The buildings aren't designed to last more than 10 years, either, so they can't be repurposed long term without tearing down and rebuilding.
