Online shopping is part of the reason,
but the biggest reason is “teen crime”.

Shoplifting, real customers fearing for their safety, real customers having to put up with obnoxious crap...

I haven’t been to a Mall in over 20 years at least. I don’t go there because the ones that are still alive are beset with types that don’t belong there.

One big mall near me has an annoying loud thumping music soundtrack of rock and roll and even some rap music playing. That music is so annoying that I get in and get out as soon as I can. I don’t know who in management decided that people want to hear the thump thump thump of rock and rap as they shop. Clearly they don’t give a blank about affluent customers such as me.

One local mall went downhill as soon as there was bus service between the mall and an "underclass" area.

The absolute WORST thing mall management can do is allow their parking lot to serve as a public transit hub. Or have public transit stopping anywhere near.

Bingo - we have a winner! Violent "utes" closed the Midtown Mall in Rochester NY years ago.
Then the thugs followed their victims out to a suburban mall a few miles away and it too was forced to close.
Said thugs are now working on destroying their third mall in another suburb.

Correct. The problems with most malls are the bus stops right outside the entrance.

Buses bring in teens from the hoods - and "That's All, Folks".

“Teen” crime is a major part of it. I also loathe seeing EBT morons shopping in their PJ’s and not even taking the time to properly dress or fix themselves.

Malls are slothpool magnets.
