Among the things that killed the malls:

Marketing specialists who were determined to make you walk extra miles to get where you wanted just so you could be forced to pass things they wanted to sell that you didn’t want.

People spraying perfume on you at all department store entrances.

Insanely badly managed parking and traffic management.

Access to public transportation...

DIVERSITY

roaming gangs of teens, dozens of foreigners selling crap in the middle of the isles and stores that had nothing worth buying is what killed the malls.

Zactly

I was going to Macy’s to do a quick pickup the other day.

The second I walked in I felt like someone was pouring some acidic substance in my throat and had a little trouble breathing.

I walked back out and didn’t bother with my task.

Went down the street and got some Falafel’s. That place smells way better than the mall
