3. There are lots of mom & pop businesses within the city.
Basically the infrastructure is built for them as there is pretty much storefronts every four blocks. The big boxes move in mostly to former industrial districts where they've torn down sections of factories, though recently there have been a few big boxes that they've built on blocks within the neighborhoods using new development (like there's a Home Depot with parking on the roof on one of these storefront streets). Big boxes would start to destroy the small businesses and take a chunk out of the middle class if people couldn't run these stores profitably.
