It depends if it gets
redeveloped in the way that the Frenchie is envisioning. I see what he is getting at in that you will have a more residential high street so they will return to the Victorian style with cafes and "service" shops and no garish chain stores.

This may not be the reality though

what will happen will be that the affluent parts will revitalise

Possibly
but it could go either way. I have seen lots of plans that include the residentialiastion (made up word alert) of high streets that look very well thought out, and they are also fairly cheap, so if that's the case it could be made to work. you will then have the drip feed of artisan shops from the affluent areas.... or it could go Detroit

In a positive frame...
What you are expressing is the lowest common denominator I would suggest that the "average" brit is significantly better than you suggest. Yes there are many mouth breathers but the point of them is they are more visible than the mean. They are the ones cluttering up the high street when you want to do anything so they become the vision of average.
