Fullhouse posted:working in retail is completely awful and malls are miserable shrines to consumption and excess so I'm glad to see them die Half of the stores in half of the malls I'm familiar with (the malls in older working class areas) are boutiques owned by first generation immigrant families. They're hosed. When the suburban malls close, there will be live/work/play developments in their place and everything in those places are corporate owned.

call to action posted:Lol you think that most dead malls are in places that people want to redevelop I guess it depends on the area. Most the malls around Atlanta that are dying will actually get redeveloped and then the residents will be charged 80% of the neighborhood average income meaning the malls that are about to be abandoned will be replaced by abandoned apartments/condos in 15 years.

BexGu posted:Most of the malls in my area (Northern Virginia) are basically being torn down for the new "Town-center" model. Basically a mini city in the middle of suburbia that host apartments/condo/business in high raises so people can park, work in the area, walk around when its nice, and in general experience city life while still having a house a couple of miles away. Not sure what the population threshold needs to be in order to make this work in other areas but it could be a semi-decent replacement for local business. My main issues with these is they just add to gentrification
