The timing of this piece is uncanny, I spent much of the past few weeks watching video after video after VIDEO of abandoned malls all over the country. The amount of square footage just sitting there unused, falling prey to the elements and time is nauseating. So many of these builds get caught up in legal/financial troubles and become blights for the city governments/communities near them, dilapidated beacons of a bygone era that is never coming back.

Repurposing them into community centers/housing is the CORRECT thing to do on so many levels, we don't need *another* amazon warehouse being built over them when there's so many unhoused people who deserve comfort and a roof over their head. #housingisahumanright
