My point is that bus- and bike-only streets are especially bad. Bike lanes in particular are very efficient in destroying businesses (if you want to Kagi and quote studies about Portland bike lanes - I know them very well).

They do. The area around McStabby's has always been less-than-perfect, but it went downhill in 2019. Yes, even before COVID. I remember it well, my partner was living literally 2 blocks away from it at that time.
