why not, its the only factual information you have, as you just admitted
visual confirmation (which is a whole lot more believable than some random youtuber claiming ice is melting faster at one of the poles)
its the only factual information you have, but you rejected it immediately and without viewing all of the video
a perfect example of ideological bias doing the thinking for you
The only fact we have is that there is a vacant space. We have no context. Claiming anything other than that is speculation. Which you and the video makers are doing. I don't understand why this concept is so foreign to you. Can you find any information that disproves what I've said? I'll be honest, I can't find anything that disproves what he's saying. BUT....that doesn't mean either of us is right. What you seem to believe is that he MUST be right because I'm pushing back...

they open more stores than they close, in order to sell more and increase profits.. That's the business model.
Yes, they will open more stores when it is profitable. I really hate to burst your bubble about business, but many businesses go under every year.
Total bankruptcy filings rose 16.8 percent, with significant increases in both business and non-business bankruptcies, in the twelve-month period ending Dec. 31, 2023. This accelerates a continuing rebound in filings after more than a decade of sharply dropping totals.

In fact, the jumped almost 17% last year. And, you know not every retailer is part of a big chain. Plus, big chains do shut down stores. It is a shocking concept. They don't always pick the best locations. They can't always control what the landlord will charge for rent. So, the rent could soar and make a once profitable store not profitable anymore. And, shockingly, they will close those locations. I mean, have you ever been to a mall? Stores shut down all the time for a multitude of reasons, even large stores.
sure, retailing has its ongoing challenges, always has, always will
shrinkage (Theft) is a metric retailers watch closely
they need to sell 5 , 10, 20.... incremental SKUs just to cover the cost of the same SKU that disappeared via the 5 finger discount and zero profits from all those sales
a bump in shoplifting wipes out the profit very quickly
Hey, shoplifting is a problem. I never said it wasn't. But why? And let me ask you this, who's fault? Are you telling me there is no shoplifting in red districts? Are you saying they are punished harsher in, say, Kentucky, and that is stopping it from happening? Because, as I said, the whole "lefty laws are fuelling this" has been debunked. You just see the videos of the brazen thieves, but ignore the reality that Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy, CVS and other retail giants do not want their employees to confront or stop the theft.

too funny
1, did you see any construction in the video ? Oh, wait, you did not watch the video
2. now you are pointing out the loonie left city planners may have bankrupted retailers along Eglinton ave. (is that LRT abomination running yet ??) , pretty much confirming the threads title......Too funny
you rejected the factual information without watching it
what you are willing to say is irrelevant
an option was to say nothing, view the video, do some extra research if you were skeptical
who knows , had you watch the video, you might have noticed something, i.e. filming the same buildings 2 or 3 times
Thanks for confirming the threads title.

Media literacy is something I really wish you had. Maybe critical thinking. But, it is obvious, as per usual, I'm screaming into the void of ignorance. Instead, you want to make believe whatever suits your world view, and take unverified information as fact....when it supports your flawed theories.
I am pretty sure that what ever dude said is speculation on his part. We've seen that in countless videos that try to own the libs. They will cherry pick on thing and go on and on....but if you look at the big picture, they are usually wrong or misinterpreting the facts.
