Well it's pretty difficult to avoid paying sales tax on the major ecommerce platforms now in many if not all major markets. So they will receive their taxes as normal. Instead of best buy, it will be more mailing depots & amazon sending them sales tax without the cost of providing services to those big retail centers. We don't even know if those warehouses will have many jobs, since amazon is pushing towards automating them more and more.

Suburbia also costs more to service from a cities perspective, with more pavement, miles of sewer pipes and so on, so we might very well see suburbs get more expensive than the cities too, since revenue starts becoming more about how many people live in a city vs the location of retail centers.
