Why did malls die?

Them urban folks

online shopping

They're too spooky for zoomers because of their liminality

people don’t want to be around black behavior at malls.

They didn't... you can't go very far here without tripping over one.

Because a meal at the mall near me was like $20

the whole appeal of the mall was hanging out with friends and getting a bite to eat at the food court for cheap

Low-cut jeans and sun dresses were cancelled by the lesbians. I can't explain why straight women accept that shit.

No, it wasn't It was girls, and sometimes the bookstore.

Internet shopping

A combination of black people + smartphones. Kids hangout on phones like retarded faggots. Most shopping is still done in retail stores believe it or not (Nike learned this the hard way), but the mall was more about hanging out, grabbing food, then maybe shopping.

>>212911764 (OP)

Fuck off saying it's because of black people you racist pieces of shit. It was because of online shopping, literally as simple as that.

>>212911764 (OP)

Poor browns started flooding into them, which chased away the whites. And sadly the browns are only there to loiter around aimlessly, not to buy anything, which means the ones who actually bought things stopped going. Like many things from our pasts, malls are just obsolete now.

They started bussing darkies there in the early 90's, by the late 90's they were done because people discovered Amazon.

amazon and "youths"

I went to an outdoor mall today to see a movie, and there was asbestos everywhere. Also the place rang to the monkey-calls of assorted hoods and thugs that post up there, but mostly I blame the asbestos.

>>212911832
that was just a byproduct of them dying and becoming empty wastelands perfect for loitering and petty theft

You're retarded. Nike literally went "full online shopping, no more retail sales" and their sales and stock plummeted. More than 70% of shit is still bought in stores. Whites got scared off by the all the vids/experiences of blacks doing flash mobs, random attacks, acting thuggish, etc.

>>212911764 (OP)
Mall near me has retooled to family fun centers, socializing spaces, old arcades, nerd stores, nostalgia stores, a lot of vending machines, and a local co-op. And now encouraging people wear concealed weapons - crime has dropped.

>>212911764 (OP)
A big part of it is black people, and acting black. It is also what has made theaters and restaurants less appealing. You can't have a shared public space with hyper aggressive mental toddlers, and we aren't allowed freedom of association so you can't just keep them out. "It hardly ever happens", it only needs to happen once or twice before you starting considering whether or not it's even worth the time and risk. You go see a movie you wanted to see, some black bullshit is going on, it makes you hesitant to go again. Eventually you just don't go out. People will blame online shopping and streaming, but that's putting the cart before the horse, those things have taken off in popularity in part due to a desire to avoid the shared space now. The ability to watch a movie on tv or VHS months after it came out has always existed.

Why drive to the mall and waste an hour or two looking around for the item you want only to realize they don’t have the item you’re looking for when you can find that item in 60 seconds on Amazon and have it same day delivered to your home? Malls are a pre internet thing. You had no other choices when it came to shopping. It was also a hangout zone for kids because they were bored. Now they all have a global communications device and camera in their pockets, a 60 inch tv at home and access to decades of tvs and movies on streaming and PlayStations and YouTube. There’s no need for kids to leave the house anymore unless it’s to go biking or play a sport. The “casual” hangouts are all done through a headset at a screen these days

Literally because of blacks. Malls required high trust homogeneous societies

nigs, spics, and online shopping, mainly amazog

nobody wants to go where dark people go

>>212911808
this 100% - nearly everything at a mall can be gotten online so having a brick and mortar store that has to pay monthly rent for mall space just doesn't work anymore for most business' when a warehouse servers the same purpose
malls themselves are also high cost to run, huge amounts of energy for AC and heat during the summer/winter and staff to clean the open areas, security and such, mall food is like double the price sometimes, fucking pretzel for $8 when i went before mine closed which is what you're gonna pay in NYC from a street vendor
one of the large malls by me on long island is finally closing down and getting reopened as some open air shopping center where each store will be on it's own without the need for common areas to maintain if i'm understanding right
it's a shame really because i have a lot of fond memories of my time there as a kid, especially holiday shopping and all the events. great movie theater, the rear entrance was even in that mayhem geico commercial where dean winters in the "emotional teen" in the pink car that causes an accident
it was a fun place to hang out and it had nearly everything you could want baring more practical stuff at big box stores like home depot - walmart - lowes - target and sears from back in the day
i think the only malls that will continue to stick around for are one like walt witman mall which has stuff like the apple store and lululemon where girls will pay $100+ for a pair of leggings along with all the other high end shops and a community with money that will still engage with the mall space instead of shopping online

>>212913029
even other darkies, the first thing they do when they can afford it is try to leave dark spaces and enter white spaces, ruining them in the process, they flee their own kind like one might flee a fire

>>212911764 (OP)
No idea anon, sure is a mystery of the ages.
Why indeed.

>>212913049
Why are poopskins so disgusting and abhorrent?

dropped my tray of sbarro at the mall once and ran away like an autist. also niggers and spics are the reason it closed down. security guards had to hand out code of conduct papers at the door at one point and started harassing anyone that looked remotely young. multiple shitty generic lofts that pop up everywhere with paper thin walls and ceilings replaced most of the mall along with a shitty new walmart staffed almost entirely with jeets

>>212911764 (OP)
Niggers, grifters, and an inability to adapt to the changing times

a lot of malls were built in areas that couldn't really sustain them, the contractors built them because of accelerated depreciation you could build a mall and then claim the lifetime upkeep cost as an expense allowing you to declare massive losses that year even though you made a peofit. Then you'd just unload it in 5 years before you actually spent any of the upkeep anyways. So these contractors were incentivized to keep churning out malls year after year so they could avoid paying taxes

>>212911764 (OP)
There were 3 shootings, 2 fatal, at the same mall the week vid related happened. It's the high end mall with the designer stores.

>>212911764 (OP)
Didn’t you hear? Malls are back!

>>212913110
Those are just black folk, anon. They were actually civilized and were assimilating well into American culture until a certain group didn't like that.
Now they're a dying breed and what's replacing them are the obvious suspects which we all know too well.

>>212912743
That has nothing to do with shopping. You're obsessed.

I live in a low trust mixed race society and malls thrive because you can simply walk to them.

>>212913762
Okay, schizo. Keep smoking meth and "doing your own research". lol

>>212913581
Poor guy.

>>212911808
walkable cities still have malls

>>212913788
Malls used to be hookup spots and places to meet girls. Now zoomers would rather remain in discord chats and goon to the onlyfans slut of their choice for $5/month.

you can fix a ghetto mall if you have good security. malls just want to have the minimum amount of security from the lowest bidder so they basically have no security. even good security might be hamstrung by fears of lawsuits and "racism" nowadays. when I was a little kid, arden fair mall in sacramento was a ghetto shithole mall. there were multiple shootings there. the arcade got shot up even. my parents saw a group of niggers jump another nigger and then stomp him out until he started convulsing with blood coming out ears and pissing himself. then they hired some tough private security that would kick niggers out for even looking sketchy. they had a million complaints about racism but nobody cared. and it turned into a nice upscale mall. it's probably back to a half empty, ghetto shithole now though.

>>212911781
Half this, half that corpofucks figured out they could make more money buying land, erecting cookie cutter low quality strip malls on it, then charging out the ass for leasing.

>>212914216
>they had a million complaints about racism but nobody cared
it was a different world then

>>212914216

The security can improve the place. But still, people just don't want to be near shitskins and jeets. Wherever those people frequent, normal people will avoid.

I only go to the mall to take creepshots of young white girls.

Is this a legit thing in America? Malls (shopping centres) are still very much popular in Australia and I see plenty of zoomers hanging out them.

>>212911764 (OP)
Niggers and the internet killed malls in most places. Had two malls in the town I was in, one for niggers, one for whites. Nigger mall closed down because niggers. Niggers start showing up in white mall and nigger as usual. White people stop going to mall because niggers, and mall closes down. Many such cases.

>>212912194
>Fuck off saying it's because of black people
Not "black people", niggers. Nigger.

>>212913581
why did the americans let the monkeys out dey zoo kek

>>212915228
They aren’t popular in America anymore, but they remain popular in every other country I’ve visited. It seems that America is quite unique in 3 main regards, all of which contributed to the decline of malls here despite our country being the most associated with them:
>1. Totally car-centric design of our whole country that impacts everything from transportation to urban layout
>2. Which leads to dominance of online shopping and retreating into our homes instead of the public sphere
>3. And this leaves minorities as the ones left to colonize the empty malls
The mall in my city is almost certainly going to close down after some nigger crackheads had a shootout inside and scared everyone from going to it.

>>212911920
We have to go back

Too bad he didn't break his fucking neck. Niggers do NOT deserve to live with us whites and should be immediately rounded up and deported.

Niggers. You're talking about niggers.

Malls are still around. They didn't die.

Because of the internet, what happened was that low performing malls (that were just riding the wave of mall culture) closed down.

Before the internet:

You could open a mall almost anyone and have it be decently successful. Malls in major cities did exceptionally well.

After the internet:

Low performing malls in the past closed down. Only the best remain. You have to be mindful of where you open a mall. Make sure it's in an area with enough people, and not too close to another mall.

>>212913581
Why are they like this?

>>212913788
Everyone too busy filming content for their OF to go to the mall dumbass

>>212911830
this almost fucking rules. trim the fat and some retarded moments and this kind of thing would actually be appealing

Did boomers really just dress up to go to a commercial shopping zone? thats kind of sad really

>>212916043

>>212916043
They were there to see and be seen. People like...dated and stuff. Like you'd be at the mall with your friend and girls would start hitting on you, then sex. It was...nice. But anyways that's why we 'dressed up'.

>>212915936
Every bit of this story is made funnier because no one can outright paint that picture, but it is legitimately the picture that is to be painted. You can't say a 70 IQ black idiot old wannabe gangster with fake chains heeded the o lawd o hep me cries of his similarly 70 IQ wife, to his demise. No, everyone has to tiptoe around that shit and tell a fragmented story. Good riddance, too bad he didn't take his dumbass wife with him.

>>212911764 (OP)

Because they built too many

It's not that malls are more unpopular, they simply kept opening up new ones. People don't go to two or three malls in a week

tl;dr malls are doing fine

I'm from Australia and malls are nowhere near as popular as they were, say, 20-years ago.

>>212911764 (OP)
Funny thing is, malls are going strong in Europe nowadays

>>212911764 (OP)
Because most of them were mob money laundering machines untied to actual profits even before kids were chased out.

>nice mall near me tries to make a rebound with adding a theater, having activity shit, adding a restaurant row
>COVID lockdowns hit and put a stop to all that
>mall never recovered
>now it's mostly dead with plans to tear most of it down and build more shitty apartments
Fuck this gay earth

when you exude PURE SOVL during a long enough period of time eventually you run out of it and disappear, just like stars

>>212916637
This is correct. I believe this is mainly due to distance whist for us in Europe is a minute walk over the states its an hour to half an hour drive with nothing else round.
