No one is saying it so I will have to:
In the northeast many major Malls have become “diverse”
White women and their children no longer feel safe going anytime but during the mid day.
Hence their decline.
A suburban police chief once told me that the single most effective thing a person can do to minimize their chances of being a crime victim is to stay away from shopping malls.
Well, that is a factor, you are right.
Nobody wants to say that, but we need to discuss inconvenient truths.
I’ll agree with you on that.
We have a traditional mall, a “lifestyle center” (read: outdoor mall). I never understood the “lifestyle center” here in Metro Indy, where the overnight low is gonna be -5 F.
At any rate, the ahem, “diversity” at our mall here, and the mall downtown have all but kept me and my family from visiting on the weekends. We rarely go to the mall as it is, but, it has become too much of a thug hangout. If I go to the mall on the weekends or even during the evening on the weekends, it is just me, as my wife is super uncomfortable with the demographic that hangs out there on the weekends.

I was speaking to a woman yesterday of a diverse background. She didn’t want to go to the mall either because of crime.
True. Willowbrook in Wayne, NJ used to be nice, but as it borders Paterson, there is a heavy minority presence and a large Muslim element. Same with Garden State Plaza which while not bordering Paterson is 5 mimutes away. It’s also a 15 straight shot in from the GWB and the bus terminal which ferries in New Yorkers for tax free shopping. The Short Hills Mall, catering to one of the wealthiest areas of the country had a carjacking and murder a few years back courtesy of the fine youth of Newark.
Why pray tell.........?
Indoor malls are dying due to large number of young blacks who pack up in the hundreds often starting fights and other crime.
Women, families, and older people with actual MONEY feel threatened (rightly so) and stop going.
We used to go to one many years ago that was in the news somewhat recently. Muslim went around getting stabby and got taken out by an off duty cop.
