I think that's maybe a combination of things 1) The economy isn't that great 2) It hasn't been that great since 2008 (5 years) so there's duration / time erosion 3) The future growth prospects aren't looking great (at least near future) 4) Uncertainty with Obama care and the costs associated 5) The internet is taking a greater % of retail and service business sales. People are looking local and then buying on the net. I'm guilty of that but on a local level we're all cutting our own throat. Those are just a few reasons off the top of my head - I'm sure there are many more.
