To be clear, the portico is not magic, any more than putting a roof over a shopping district (without changing anything else) has a magic ability to ruin it (I have seen no evidence that it does, and find the idea completely unbelievable).
I don’t mean sticking porticos on the side of the building as built; I mean designing it to have streetfront retail opening off a portico.
A portico off a blank wall is better than a sidewalk next to a blank wall, because I don’t have to get rained on; but it’s still a blank wall.
