Leaving a huge void where they put others out of business when they shut down.
And some areas gave up 20 years of tax collections to get a 'super store' in their area while finding the need to supply them water and sewer and a re-work of roads and signals to handle the traffic to them.
What a bargain !
There was no need to force your head in the noose, you all did it willingly.

They don't just "shut down". That's the point.
Unskilled labor making crazy demands for money with no skill or education to back it up is the problem.
"Gave up 20 years of tax collection" ...uhmm, there would have been nothing to collect taxes on if Walmart didn't come to town. You can't "give up" taxing Walmart if they aren't even there to begin with.
Water, sewer...really? You mean the city will pay for my sewer system at my house! Oh...wait a minute...no they didn't and no they won't.
The city has flat told me that their service to me ends in my front yard right where the pipe leaves out of my water meter. Any problems past that...are mine.
"Re-work of roads"? Before I moved here to Vegas I lived in a tiny town in South Carolina. They didn't have to "re-work" any roads to build a Walmart Superstore.
And the businesses that opened up all around that Walmart in the giant strip mall that accompanied it were happy as hell with the built in foot traffic.
Think about it. You're kinda saying that progress, growth, and new jobs are a bad thing.
