Looks inevitable and in a way, desirable.<p>Having brick and mortars shops when you have drone deliveries is really inefficient.<p>At least for mass-produced goods. Maybe the &quot;artisanal&quot; stuff can survive as independent shops, reversing the hideous chain-store trend.<p>Next up: office spaces as working from anywhere becomes the norm.<p>End result: tons of vacant real estate than can be converted into housing.<p>I see only advantages.
