Similar situation in my town. All the auto dealers used to be located along one road that their adverts called “The Auto Mile”.
When the city implemented draconian business license fees based on total dollar volume of sales (vs. net profit from those sales), the auto dealers started moving their operations out to a main hwy in an unincorporated section of the county.
Today the now vacant former “Auto Mile” has seen diminishing property values, increased crime and deteriorating & unsightly buildings.
At the same time, the city is making moves to annex the unincorporated area where all the car dealers moved.
It’s funny how the “Looters” are chasing “John Galt” across the county while leaving a trail of carnage and diminished land values.
