I think one of the major logic flaws here on Walmart's part (besides the real estate issue) is the fact that their business model heavily relies on the "one stop shopping" pitch (along with the low prices). People who ride the subway/use taxis don't need one-stop shopping, because then they have to figure out how to get all that crap home. It takes me 2-3 trips to unload the car after a box-store trip. I sure as Hell wouldn't want to be doing that at a 10th floor walkup with the meter running....
