Why can’t they tear the malls down and replace it with affordable housing instead?
some mixed-use redevelopments do have some. if you want more, you need to convince your local governments zoning, permitting, and planning folks to demand more from these types of projects.
I do.

Good piece, and pretty cool.
Agreed. Hopefully this is done more in the future with other dying/dead malls. In my area they are converting old textile mills that have been long abandoned into apartments and the ones I’ve seen, look awesome.
We have something like that, Ponce City Market in Atlanta. I believe it was an old Ford plant. But, I think that they’re luxury apartments, which doesn’t really help fix the affordable housing issue.
She can’t have an open flame, ok. But she can’t have an electric range either?
I’m thinking the same thing. Came here to the comments to see if someone mentioned it. I don’t get why they can’t have an electric stove.
Cool idea but it’ll only work out for people who don’t cook and eat microwave or take out meals everyday.
