We had a local mall which was s nice place to visit — until they added a bus stop which allowed people from the “inner city” a way to get there.
Part of it was to facilitate inner city people being able to apply for jobs at the mall. But the minorities turned the place into something white people didn’t want to go to. So it finally closed.
Been known for years here. The most certain way to kill a mall is to add a bus stop. It’s not a question of if adding the stop is a death punch to the mall but when.
