Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you're JC Penny 203? I'm at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in.

If I'm unable to finish my life in my own home, that doesn't sound like a terrible option.

I absolutely hate malls in Russia. I'd prefer them all demolished and replaced with grass, but this seems a valid option too.

Good riddance

There's a mall in my city that's currently under construction, but I have a feeling it'll be forgotten the week after it opens.

And this is the FIRST mall in my city.

I'm surprised they're building more after watching so many die and rot.

In some places they still make sense. In a place where one can be built relatively close to a number of well off suburbs, while being closer than more urban area commercial districts, malls are still doing alright. The hey day of malls being in every suburb is dead though.

My country doesn't have many malls to begin with. The only one I've been to is in Casablanca.

I do not live in Casablanca.

    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
