1) NYC is already a tough place for businesses due to heavy taxation and stifling regs; and the retail environment today makes it that much tougher. Try Googling “Retail Apocalypse” for starters. So, yeah, any incremental difficulty makes those businesses more vulnerable.
You can't have a community around retail. You can't measure a neighborhood's vibrancy through profit. Try again.

What can you plan a community around? Who owns those businesses? For small business owners what you so cavalierly call “profit” they call “livelihood.” How dense can you be?
