Regarding the retail on every block issue, I get what wwmiv is saying. Still, it doesn't seem to stop the national chains from flooding markets with the very same store just miles apart.

I think the real problem is the product diversity is lacking in urban environments. What I mean is there are plenty of coffee shops, and corner stores are on the rise which is great, but what about other things? Where are the furniture stores, insurance stores, hardware stores, etc? I know those things are less sexy and not very trendy, but if we had more of those I'm sure there would be more blocks with retail.
