I think in California that real estate is very valuable and these property developments are mostly modern, so it’s well worth it for real estate developers to make these changes if the areas have enough foot traffic. There’s nothing worse in California than paying millions of dollars for property and then having retail sit vacant for potentially years.
In California, it's not unusual to see single floor retail being replaced with five (or more) residential spaces over a single floor commercial space, especially where there is significant housing demand. Higher density, nearby customers, and less need for excess parking.
