More small business. Towns often struggle now to fill main street shops. Most of peoples' needs are met by much larger businesses, online too. In the past the small businesses in a main street were the hub of shopping (old shot of Cowra here). Now the best you tend to get are boutique stores, non-necessities. Further evidence of this is the pandemic, where most small business had to shut down. People were mostly able to function quite easily without them. Their largest function now is income for owners and employees, a very inefficient way of putting food on peoples' tables.
