Commercial buildings have vacancies and huge condo/strip mall projects that were started but never finished sit vacant collecting dust but its not on every corner like your pics suggest in your town. Just examples of investors/developers trying to take advantage of an inflated market and they went bust. I go down on the strip and Fashion Show Mall / Town Square is packed.

I've travelled quite a bit over the past couple of years from Vegas to Phoenix/LA and your situation is not the norm.

And on that subject you're out of your mind if you think the economy is what is driving porn sales down. Nobody is thinking about the economy when they are considering buying a $1 trial to jerk off. It has to do with an abundance of free content, horrendous marketing practices, deceptive billing and a fragmented industry with a low entry barrier that keeps dividing the pie.

Generally entertainment thrives in a bad economy. Hollywood is booming, video game sales are huge, RedBox is blowing up and NetFlix is still growing and adding subscribers. By your equation because a Wendies shut down in butt fuck Cali nobody can afford a movie ticket. It's simply not true.
