Shopping malls are under tremendous pressure and are dying out in many cities.

Part of it is the outrageous rents that they can charge in the most upscale malls, and part of it is the overbuilding of malls.

Biggest reason is the population movement across urban areas. Once a mall becomes known as crime ridden it can fall very fast, no matter how many police patrols they have.
