          No, you’re thinking of a mouse. A mall is when the top of something reaches a relatively high elevation. Like a giraffe or a multi story building.

        An place that supports consumerism that therefore supports more exploitation so some rich people can continue to exploit humanity to enforce their artificial of power through money over humanity

        Humans should live to be human and be free to express themselves freely, not be money making livestock to the few that enforce that power through money structure over humanity

            Here in Florida all the OG indoor malls have been abandoned, and developers keep building these new “outdoor” malls.

            Outdoor. Malls. In Florida. Where it’s hot.

            And people keep going there because there’s a new Sugar Factory or Fogo de Chão…

              My inner urbanist despises these outdoor malls (at least the ones I’ve seen in Canada).

              It’s essentially an artificial car-free downtown surrounded by a massive parking lot, and rarely served by public transportation. Why don’t we just build walkable downtowns instead? Is it because these are just suburbanites LARPing walkable living?

      They are actually purposely designed like that. They are also often place at the end of corridor after the movie theater in a mall. That’s to get even more people to cut through, ideally with their girlfriends.

      Trust me, they love it when you cut through… especially if you’re with a woman. I actually read something about how because the shape of the pillar (usually for Gate purposes) is a square it throws off human psychology and they see the open space more like a wall that they have to walk around. So very few people cut through that section.
