So there's not a lot of slack in the system to begin with.

So even if it sits empty and another store needs some space urgently, that space is not available.

Warehouses already were busier than ever.

If Americans are known for one thing, it's buying a lot of stuff. 

We shop a lot.

making new warehouses is not a quick thing.

I mean, a lot of people are now quite used to having their stuff delivered within a day or two, so retailers want to store their stuff closer to people so that they can actually offer faster shipping.

And it's taking a while for the business to adjust itself to that new reality.

Think about how huge of a change that is.

When the pandemic hit, everything, all of what we've been seeing so far got turned upside down.

Our adventure jolts to a stop right here. We're halting.

 People are cutting back on shopping, and so stuff begins piling up.

Warehouses are already sort of full, and now they're really, really full.

In an average year, online shopping might grow 10 or 15%. In the first pandemic year, it jumped over 40% and only kept going.

And so we see the warehousing world explode.

They're cranking out warehouses as fast as they can.

Thanks very much, Alina, for that very insightful rollercoaster ride - a little bit frightening, but I ended in one piece.
