Are malls dying?
Tysons Corner Center is near Washington, D.C. Sitting on 78 acres today, there are plans in motion to double its footprint to over 3.5 million sq. feet. Meanwhile everyone is shopping at Amazon now.
as you watch:
- you will see very few with actual shopping bags
- many of those you do see work are actually mall workers
- the mall is no longer the place to congregate, but a place to slack
- strollers strollers strollers. and these aren't infants or even toddlers riding them.
- how many store closings there are, and how clever they're disguised
meanwhile area property taxes, utility bills, and especially water fees are spiking to support the roads and infrastructure around what some fear could be a slowly dying dinosaur... comments and perspectives welcome.
