Not surprising, I see so many downtown areas still closed in the SJ area. It's tough to open a business when the people in the area don't have the money to buy your products.
When 2/3rd's of the nation are paycheck to paycheck, even in an affluent area like SJ, if your business is not providing something extremely essential, then you are effectively marketing to just 1/3rd of the population with money.
This tautology that has been spread through out our society that "rich people create jobs" is absurd, demand creates jobs, and decent paychecks create demand. So when paychecks have been stagnant for 40 years, what do people expect is going to happen?
