Flame away.
Self-Deport 30,000,000 illegal aliens, and you’ll get more housing at cheaper prices for actual Americans.
Might as well act now, and make apartments out of those empty malls, before the Muslims turn the sites into Mosques.
I certainly will not flame. I think it’s a great idea. What a handsome building and I’ll bet in the winter it’s a lot more pleasant to have your front door facing inside rather than out. It wouldn’t be for me, and certainly not that building’s tiny apartments, but for those who would like it, great
“Teens” ruined malls. Who wants to risk life and limb with melanated ‘teens’ terrorizing people? Last mall I visited was on Oahu when I lived in Lani Kai years ago. Only went to get tools at one of the last remaining Sears stores.
They tore down the Mall of Memphis (Mall of Murder).
I thought they could have turned it into the neighborhood prison.
Go in there, spend some time and credit it to your next sentence.
Kind of like Otis in the Andy Griffith Show.
Now fill the Malls up with tenants instead of shoppers. Won't you have the same problem?
How long before the first "apart-mall" gets taken over by Tren de Agua?
Who rents the kiosks out in the concourse?
Actually, if the mall is in a decent walkable location with a lively urban vibe and a lot within walking range if you stepped outside —as opposed to a big stand-alone mall in the middle of a vast parking lot — it might be a reasonably good place to live for someone interested in a tiny apartment. Which is lots of people. A door entering onto a concourse is not much different from a door entering onto a dreary hallway in a typical apartment building. The big compromise is that one’s only window is open to the concourse, so I expect that most people simply have their blinds drawn all the time.
Not that a lot of Gen Zers would notice, given that they’re focused on a screen of one kind or another most of their waking hours.
If I was much younger and was on a fairly short term assignment in some unfamiliar big city, I might be tempted to try one for six months or a year. Location depending ....
I’d like to have the whole mall to live in, so I could see how long it took to fill it with junk.
How Shopping Malls Are Being Transformed Into Apartments In The U.S..
Amazon owner winks and a few others.
Credit cards are handy don’t be without one huh Moe.
IF YOU CLEAR OUT 40 MILLION ILLEGALS-—THERE IS NO “HOUSING SHORTAGE.
If developers and the respective municipal city planners can overcome the logistics of the electrical & plumbing (water/waste) service differences between residential apartment buildings and the mall developments, more power to them.
But, I’m curious:
Since the trends in all the leftist cities are to get people out of cars and all new developments have a fraction of parking spaces to tenants, I wonder what they’re going to do with the acres of paved parking lots surrounding these properties which were meant to serve MANY more vehicles (customers) than tenants?
I don’t understand how the girl is living in former retail space, but her apartment is only 250 sq. ft.
Otherwise, I think it’s really interesting, and works be especially good for for retirement housing.
They’ve been trying to turn malls into residential. The building type doesn’t convert eqsily. Cheaper to tear down and build new.
What’s causing the ‘housing shortage’ in the US?
I’ve long suggested that these dead malls be turned into Senior Living apartments.
So then, Cinnabon for breakfast, Sbarro’s for lunch and Panda Express for dinner?
The answer to my previous question ... What is causing the 4.5 M housing shortage in America?
Primarily population growth.
What is causing America’s population growth? Buried in many of the AI linked articles ....
FOREIGN “MIGRATION”.
Well, that’s being fixed, thankfullly/FINALLY.
So....there goes the 4.5 MILLION housing shortage ... so much for all of these MASSIVE apartment buildings being built all across the USA.
Adios! 好买 and अच्छी खरीद
“”also brings people closer to the remaining retail and restaurant spaces in shopping centers””
Who wrote this? There isn’t anything remaining in these malls after the anchor stores and others close up...Went to a Macy’s a week ago - slated for closing - and all access from there to the remainder of the mall was completely CLOSED OFF - nothing there - inside OR out!!! No shopping center - just lots of empty parking lots while haggling goes on about “what do we do with it now?”
Good, anything that puts downward pressure on an overvalued real estate sector, sets up a better future for younger people already eating higher costs & premium asset valuations.
There was a 10 year lag in building after the 2008-2009 economic meltdown which needs to be rectified.
