[Report] 30% Would Pay Higher Taxes To Repurpose Old Shopping Malls
Abandoned shopping malls, once symbols of consumerism, now stand as relics of a different time.
As this prime real estate sits vacant, I wanted to send you a new reporton how Americans are reimagining shopping malls. According to a nationwide survey, more than two thirds of Americans live within an hour of an abandoned shopping mall and many want to see them turned into something useful.
Some of the ideas for repurposing old malls include: parks, community centers, housing, businesses and retail space
3 in 4 believe the government should provide incentives for repurposing abandoned malls
30% would pay higher taxes if abandoned malls were turned into community space or housing
But almost two thirds would rather see a shopping mall comeback. 50% miss going to malls, even though the majority of Americans (61%) prefer to shop online.
Take a look at the full report which includes more on why American believe so many shopping malls have closed.
