Well, since we live in the U.S, we can probably just tear down all the buildings and replace them with fast food restaurants lol. On terms of taxes, who knows what will happen with that. The state and federal governments might have to step in and do something. because sales tax will become tricky if all these businesses just start going online. They might all move their headquarters to states that don't have state sales tax, and therefor they wouldn't have to pay any tax, and obviously that could seriously effect the states that do have sales tax. Even though I think I read somewhere that if a product is shipped out of a warehouse, it doesn't matter where the company HQ is, the company gets taxed for the product that went out of the warehouse depending on the state and city it was in.I agree and that why I started this thread. I don't know what we're going to do with the malls, office buildings, and stores. Do they have another life? Can they be converted to other uses? And this has far-reaching effects in our economy. It will change the land-use models in many cities. What will the zoning maps look like? Think about this -- how is it going to affect sales taxes and property taxes that support the city services?
