People frequently state the statistic about the number of empty houses and apartments versus the number of homeless.
There are 27.4 Empty Homes for Each Homeless Person in the U.S
Well, there’s about a million times more empty parking spots versus people living in their car.
Walmarts had historically been 24 hour stores, until covid came around. People who stay overnight in their parking lots are more likely to make purchases from the store.
I miss 24 hour stores :/
I miss having the option late at night, but also 24 hour businesses create some pretty toxic trends. I’d like to see a few overnight-only businesses pop up.
What toxic trends are those?
Mostly scheduling shit. There’s always the “clopen” in retail, now imagine no close, there’s bound to be bullshit shifts.
Also the founder Sam Walton used to do a lot of long road trips when he was getting Wal Mart off the ground, and had warm feelings toward travelers.
