I think it is related to crime, decay, and migration.....malls close when an area suffers decay....and new ones open where there is prosperity

I live in a rather upscale area due to my simple living conservative lifestyle which allowed me to improve my situation instead of liberally spending all my shillings on Consumer FlimFlim like CAR$, PELOTON$, I-THING$, and GUN$ which keeps the common-class peasant secure in his wageSLAVE position.

anyway the local mall is bustling and I would imagine that weather would also play a factor in some regions as a place to escape the cabin-fever of winter or excessive summer heat keeping the mall as a necessary element of contemporary civilization.

I can also imagine how aging related issues contribute to the Mall Walker Community. When one feels "less than perfect" and it is too wet or too hot out then walking in a comfortable climate controlled environment must be attractive to the community elders.

I haven't been to the mall for last 5 years. Maybe more than that. I don't miss it. I don't miss the stores or the people. I do my essential shopping online. Occasionally I go to the dollar stores. But my major purposes have been online???!!!
