Another sure way to kill a mall is to add public transit bus stops.
I visited my home state of Minnesota in 2003 and went to the Brookdale mall where I had shopped many times in the 1970’s and 80’s. It was nearly empty and it looked like a flea market selling cheap stuff. The mall went downhill according to newspaper accounts and comments when the city had a bus line from Minneapolis stop at Brookdale. Lots of crime came and honest people left.
