Why would commercial stores want to build expensive stores next to little
used light rail with an often poor group of users that will not buy much.
Why would someone want to carry a lot on a light rail in sacks or boxes
after buying those goods.

The problem is far deeper.  Light rail in general is far too slow and too
difficult for people to use to be used by more than an insignificant number
of people.

Light rail is a failure because it has no compelling advantage to make it
succeed.  The coninuing story of light rail is "Just because you build it
does not mean they will come."
