Fewer people can afford those experiences. There's usually one or two nice parts of town with (search for Apple store, Nordstroms, or Whole Foods), where you can find new development.

But buying stuff made in China was cheap, even people who made $30k/year could do that. But going out for coffee, brunch, movies, massages, trainers, that stuff is way more expensive, and so is limited to the nicer parts of town.

On the low-end there's Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Ross(ROST). Mid-market Costco(COST) has also been doing well. Prices at Ross are much much lower than Amazon if your time is cheap or you like shopping. Similarly, grocery delivery is expensive if your time is cheap.
