not sure why you feel that way, since many ppl....women &, even more so, men in particular, who are rushing to and from work....tend not to feel bad about properties they're walking past if they contain no shops, but will feel bad if that same location is unattractive & poorly maintained, or full of many vacant spaces. A perfect example of how retail is a small piece of the puzzle is to look at broadway. Most of its sidewalk space is next to stores, but in spite of that, I have little interest in moseying around there, & actually feel down when I have to deal with that area.
