If only there was competition among landlords (ie, build more). In all seriousness, businesses can move (easier said than done for a restaurant) and commercial leases are very long, 5-10 years.

Curious how the average lifespan of a restaurant just happens to be 8 to 10 years.

Couldn't be a coincidence, just couldn't. /S
