Regarding car dealerships, I believe the manufacturers and new car dealers have made a conscious decision post-Covid not to hold as much inventory. After having bought several cars in the last year, it seems like it is rare to be able to walk into a dealership and leave that day with the car you want. It used to be, "Which color would you like, of the 20 on our lot?" and now it is more like, "We have one in production and two on a ship and one at the port, so you can put down a deposit today and take delivery in the future." Thus, it would make sense that the dealerships are in no hurry to expand their space.
