Why are they so comfy.

amazon, alibaba..

>>10609684
because your city is dying and leaving you dumb faggot

>>10609684
This is a shop. I can tell by some of the pixels.

shopping malls are a huge waste of money and i hope most fuckin die

All those wealth wasted on shitty architecture to make poor people buy useless shit, the entire thing is a shit show

Not all malls are bad tho, some can be really pretty and makes it an enjoyable atmosphere i.e. Melbourne's recently renovated Chatswood mall

>>10609684
sign of a dying middle class.

>>10609821
Could have just said shitty architecture. A mall is a very strange place.

>>10609684
Same reason banks are dead. Internet is the new way. Amazon is to retailers as bitcoin is to banks.

Your banks are going to look like shopping malls in about 5 years.

Also I dislike huge "closed to the outside" concrete places even if they have proper ventilation... then they let in hundreds of people... Infact shopping malls I have visited smells

I think they are we are not designed as humans to be accumulated in those places

The new White Flight. Niggers and third-worlders dominate shopping malls, middle-upper class whites have better places to shop, preferably in places where public transportation doesn't run.

>>10609684
Someone I know is actually a director of a large shopping mall, and she once told me that internet shopping is taking over.

This is why, especially here in Norway, malls are turning into these "entertainment centres", as opposed to shopping centres.

>>10609684

Amazon mostly. Chain retailers would rather build in shopping centers facing outdoors for better exposure and access, too. But mostly Amazon.

trump killed the mall because there were too many mexicans getting janitorial positions

Fuck I need [commodity]... I know! I'll go to the mall, they have a [store that sells commodity] there! While I'm there I can impulse buy other stuff, it has a nice atmosphere, and it's convenient because it's an all in one for a lot of my non-grocery shopping.

>2018
Fuck I need [commodity]... I know! I'll go to [online retailer] because their prices are generally cheaper, but mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to trek across town to the mall. I can stay in the comfort of my own home and impulse buy through my computer, and then have everything I got shipped to me without another thought.

>>10609684
I thought they already died, at least in my area. Had 5 10+ years ago, around 2008 during the crash the rest started shuttering stores and never stopped.

>1 completely closed

Absurd rents are killing business, jobs and result in less babies, and more imported niggers to force population growth to maintain the status quo so that kiked politicians can get reelected.

>>10609684
They're thriving in Asia.

Why dying:
1. Improved logistics in ecommerce make it more convenient to purchase/return online then waste time driving, parking, shopping, etc.

Why thriving in Asia:
Fragmented delivery system/unreliable.
New middle class, new wealth - want to show off, and experience what everyone else has been for past 50 years. No ecomm, except lazada but heavily fragmented and malls are a centralized place to meet people, to dine, to buy.

Fragmented highways, road and A/C (aircon in fucking SEA) make it a haven.

Plus cute af girls to pickup and fuck.

>impulse buy

Are you a woman?

>>10609977
this

>>10610463
Me personally? No. It's a generic reason why shopping malls are dying anon. Not being a white knight faggot but males impulse buy, but women also would go to shopping malls. Some still do for a social occasion or a date but for the most part they're dead thanks to amazon imo

Anyone here into vaporwave?

same reason why home ownership is down, share of 25-34 year olds living with parents is higher than during 1930's and purchasing power is down 30% since 1970

you even risk a dark age here as elon musk said. debt bomb too high

>>10610772
No one wanted to use internet and online shopping back then either

I used to run a virtual reality machine in the mall and it was literally overrun by blacks, Guatemalans, and Poo in Loos. People with actual money (whites) spend it elsewhere.

>>10609821
This. Shopping malls are just materialist shitholes. The architecture is so uninspired and once you enter, you just want to fucking leave as soon as you're done with your business.

Things like SHOPPING STREETS (pic related) are vastly more interesting and a better use of money. Malls are dying and will eventually die leaving a useless piece of shit lying around, but a shopping street is timeless and is modifiable.

Online shopping:
-Unlimited selection from all over the world
-Detailed product description
-User reviews, ratings
-Smart recommendations
-Free shipping, delivered in 2-4 days to my door.
-Can shop while at work, while at home, while taking a shit

Mall shopping:
-Take at least 1 hour to commute to mall and back
-Spend 1 hour browsing the store
-Limited selection
-0 knowledge sales assistants.

At Ace hardware:
>ask for big plastic containers to old lady (the kind you can store a blanket for example)
>proceeds to think
>start walking, I follow
>walks thru random aisles, points me to trash cans, plastic buckets, eventually we find it together

At Office depot
>need Polaroid film, I literally confirmed on the website that they have it at the store
>ask young assistant girl where the camera films are (while holding the literal camera in my hand)
>proceeds to walk around the aisles, I follow
>I try to give advice, "maybe let's check the aisle where you sell the cameras?"
>another sales guy joins, "we don't sell film"
>I say fine, I ordered two packs online anyways, I will wait 2 days for those to arrive
>about to leave, guys gears start spinning, "oh is it this you are looking for"
>"congratulations sherlock! you deserved your $11.50/hr"

At Macy's
>need perfume, I don't care what it is as long as it's not bottom shelf and smells nice
>ask the old lady at the counter to test 3-4 random scents.
>ask if they have any deals, discounts, combo packs, travel bag gifts etc.
>nothing
>instead of pulling my wallet, I pull my phone, google the name of the perfume, first result is a groupon link for the same perfume, 50% cheaper
>click link, groupon ad opens up, I already have an account, I swipe my finger to place and pay for the order.
>thank the lady for her time and leave.

>>10609684
amazon and walmart literally putting everything else out of business.

they need to die in order to be refurbished into FEMA camps

Because no one with money (white people) wants to walk around a commercial complex festering with people that look nothing like them (non-whites). If white people felt comfortable and safe in that area, they would much rather shop there than online. Case in point: brick and mortar still dominates in ethnically homogeneous zones of Asia, even (especially, at that) in first-world countries

>go to Amazon
>Find everything you need in a minute
>Go to mall
>Find something you need if you're lucky

>>10610714
Absolutely not.

>>10609724
Unironically niggers, all the malls in my area are infested with niggers and mexicunts. Literally no white people go there anymore and those malls are literally 25% capacity. The one mall in the still 80% white area is still doing great but more and more niggers are starting to roam there hitting and white people, hanging out not buying anything and harassing people. Niggers ruin everything.

Internet wasn't the first thing to kill malls. Buying a cd at the mall cost over $20. Then giant ejecting stores like circuit city popped up and you could pay $15 for one. Then walmart supercenters were everywhere she you could pay $12.93 for one. Suddenly mall traffic fell.

>>10612920
Ejecting = electronics
She = so

>>10611305
Well said. I mostly use stores as showrooms nowadays. Only thing I buy in a store is food and household items.

>>10612828

I don’t even get it. Even the ones in the suburbs are overrun now it’s like they’re bussed out there

Online buying offers cheaper and better products.

No gangs of hoodlums roaming around waiting to clock someone and steal their $10.

Waste of electricity and water.

People don't have to leave their houses or stash away time for a shopping day.

>>10611130
True outlet malls around me actually do well

>>10609684
1) stronger US dollar hampering inbound tourist spend
2) amazon and e-commerce in general killing a lot of the old-style brick and mortar business
3) most malls are based around the anchor tenant model, where anchors are traditional visitor-draws like Macys and Sears, who have been raped the hardest in all this

It's just a transitory period, but it'll suck for a while more depending on the quality of mall and demographics of surrounding area.

>>10609684
That's not entirely right OP. Middle class malls are dying from a shrinking middle class and from cheaper online competition but upper class malls are thriving lately.

>>10611811
Not that anon but that's what's happening in australia, a lot of the shopping malls are trying to rebrand themselves as hip n trendy places to go have a drink or meal etc. Problem is nobody really thinks of them like that and they are usually located in places difficult to reach without your own car.
I personally hate shopping malls and if you asked me 10 years ago if it was good that they died out i would have said yes. Unfortunately they are being replaced by something worse (amazon corporate surveillance dystopia/nobody leaving their house for any purpose and the abandonment of incidental interaction with other humans)

>>10613112
Is this in la?

More people are becoming obese and too lazy to go outside of their homes.

in my area there's a middle class mall (one nordstroms and otherwise nothing even remotely upscale) which is nigger central. can't even feel remotely safe there.
the other mall is upscale as fuck, luxury shopping everywhere. niggers stay away. its comfy

going to a shopping mall is like taking a trip to chicago/harlem

>>10613051

They literally are, check the bus routes that run to the mall.

>believing only women impulse buy

Are you an autist?

There's about 4 major malls where I live, 2 are still pretty decent. Number three is surrounded by homeless people, and number 4 is chock full of niggers. Both are bleeding money and can't get real anchor tenants. Kinda sad because they used to have some cool stores on them when I was younger.

>>10610447
>meet people
No
>Fragmented delivery system/unreliable
Depends on the area but Taobao has always delivered for me, more or less

But the main draw of shopping malls these days in Asia are the movie theatres/IMAX, grocery/clothes shopping and dining.

never seen an entertainment center mall in norway. just like american malls except 100x shittier. narrow, claustrophobic, bad food, and filling up with welfare seeking migrants wearing burkas

>>10616017
Well, you obviously don't live in any of the large cities then.
Most of the malls here, which are not located directly in the city centres, are receiving cinemas, exhibitions and gyms.

>>10609724
GO. AWAY.

There are some healthy malls but it requires a lot of work and originality- it is fucking incredible how many businesses would rather go bankrupt rather than hustle. I’ve seen malls take on megachurches, community colleges and medical centers. The ones that do nothing just end up abandoned.
