   Malls aren’t dying, the stores that were in malls are dying.

   This is sad; Eastfield Mall in Springfield, MA is(or has been) demolished. I grew up going to that mall.

   It isn't just because of the online shopping, "Covid-19" did not help matters.

   It's really sad how the world is changing and Amazon has taken over and malls will be a thing of the past. I don't know about the future for our grandkids and all these changes with social media it's just really sad

   Whenever I hear 'pandemic' (or similar word or words), the first thing that comes to my mind is 'politicians with a personal agenda'.

    If you want to know why nobody goes to malls anymore, take a look at the places people do go to: Walmart and Amazon.

    Walmart is a department store, meaning it sales different types of items in different sections of the store (tools, electronics, food, etc). Amazon, too, sales different types of items.

    People don't go to malls anymore because they don't have to.

    Malls could attract people again, provided they start to offer experiences you can't get elsewhere. Malls should lower prices, too, that would help attract people.

    People got tired of looking like everyone else around town. Catalog shopping in order to look different was replaced by Internet shopping. Distribution killed malls…

    It seems one problem is the stores in the malls do not co operate by sharing the ownership of the space? So outsider foreign owned are the owners and try to get the highest rent possible and the stores of the malls cannot cope with it.

    Why spend a ton of money at the mall when you can spend a fraction of the price online on products that are way higher in quality.

    The answer is oblivious, it was right in front of you the whole time…..The INTERNET killed malls and people stopped shopping at them.
    Everybody cries afterwards, but you did it to yourselves, the customers killed malls by not supporting their local stores and buying everything off the internet.

    Malls are a symbol of mankinds greed and waste of money and resources.

    So many family shops were closed so that the big corporations could binge for a while.

    I always intensely disliked malls and am thrilled to see them go. Malls were a curse to humanity and I will tell you why. What they did was to bankrupt the smaller ma and pa retailers that existed on Main Streets of the small towns and replaced those retailers with those owned by the multi-national corporations.

    1) Car dependency
    2) Collapse of the middle and lower class disposable income
    3) Lack of actual variety within the malls
    4) Extortionate rates charged by the Mall to storeholders
    5) Oversupply of Commerical Space resulting in an overabundance of Malls

    Where I live (Colombia) malls only work if they have a major groceries store in it. Actually their whole marketing strategy is telling people which groceries store they have so people can think of going there. Since people does not have a lot of money, groceries is a main issue. Malls know that and focus on that necessity. Buying clothes is a side activity for the regular consumer. And since groceries are the core of the malls and groceries cannot be bought on Amazon, therefore malls in Colombia are conceptually secure despite the raise of E-commerce. Also there is not a so Internet dependent culture in my country, so rich people tend not to buy too much from amazon (despite being able to). They rather go to buy the object by themselves.

    When your average democrat walks through an empty mall, he thinks there are 2 uses for this place. That big parking lot is a place for hundreds of homeless veterans to pitch their tents and the empty stores can be made into homes for thaosands of illegal aliens.

    This mini documentary, is an interesting short history and summary of current U.S. shopping malls.
    
    – The documentary almost calls attention to the lost opportunities to re-develop under-used shopping malls.
    
    Internet retail shopping and even grocery shopping – is more time efficient and provides customer reviews as well as easy comparison shopping.
    
    Malls however, are still carefully designed, covered spaces, with large graded parking lots; and importantly, malls are specifically located in population centers.
    
    True enough, there is less on the ground local shopping.
    
    However, there are still as many on the ground local errands.
    
    Families with two working parents, are challenged by the time and effort involved in these errands.
    
    The "retro" shopping malls would serve a useful purpose if they could be developed as ERRAND MALLS.
    
    Errands such as:
    internet ordered grocery pickup – trattoria style hot meals to go – internet orders, unboxed pickup (packaging recycled) – child daycare drop off and pickup – elder day room drop off and pick up – a home health care "spa" (with an elder barber, hair stylist, bathing assistance, hearing aid, podiatrist etc.) – an urgent care exam room – an elder lunch room – dry cleaning pickup – excercise machines gym – etc., all planned as age and activity associated areas within the mall.
    
    Re-developed malls could be planned and designed to make routine errands convenient.
    
    The malls would evolve from a former, pleasant chaos to a current, more focused activity, but still pleasant, familiar environment, and a useful community errand center.
