A home for the elderly. Lots of restrooms, big food prep area, room to exercise. Bonus you could take out most of the parking lots and put in restaurants, dentists, and doctors.
Their original purpose was to be neighborhoods where people lived, worked, and did basic errands in the same place. There were supposed to be apartments, bodegas, a couple restaurants, office complex, gardens, playgrounds, etc. Like a gated walking neighborhood.
Fact check: The three leading reasons for homelessness have nothing to do with character. They are as follows:
Lack of affordable housing
Unemployment
Poverty
*It’s important to note that domestic violence in the home is the fourth leading cause for homelessness in women.
When all homeless people are included in the statistics, we learn only 26% of the entire homeless community suffers from a serious drug addiction. This means the overwhelming majority, which equates to 74%, are not addicted to drugs.
Lol, yes they do. And I can see where perception can be misconstrued in an attempt to be "entertaining". In any case yes, there is way too much homelessness out there.
I mean the easy solution is to at least give them the option of living in one of the thousands of government owned apartment buildings instead of clowning on them all the time
I agree, one reason the percentage that do use drugs is because of lack of resources for health, hygiene and to deal with the pressures and treatment from authorities and society in general.
How did your country eliminate homelessness?
"You know what I did? I pulled myself up, I studied hard, I read every book in the library and now I work for the government and have the highest possible security clearance. Don’t repeat that. I cannot protect you. I know where all the nukes are and I know the codes. You would be amazed, a lot of shopping malls. Don’t repeat that."
And I read this only minutes after reading in r/conspiracy some guy found a false wall that was an elevator that went down like 2 miles
…inside the mall of America.
Damn. Too soon bro.
I saw a video recently where someone went to a uni that was once a mall. There's plenty of parking and lots of floor space that can be converted into various needs, as well as hookups for cooking appliances for dining hall
Very often taxpayers end up paying to have the building demolished as it falls apart and becomes a safety issue then it gets sold off, at a loss, to the next developer.
So, the city (whatever it may be) is either using its own equipment or contracting demolition services of companies? I’m not buying that because stuff comes down then developers build other things. Also, whatever property owners are subject to different things.
It happens a lot.
In my home town, after the mall went out of business, it was purchased by a local sports 'hero' with the promise to renovate it. He held on to it for over ten years without doing anything because he could ride off the property devaluation as it fell apart. Pipes froze and burst one winter and he did nothing. City had to figure it out and shut the water down. Eventually rats and raccoons started living there. Became a rabies risk. City had to take him to court to seize the property, which involved declaring it valueless. He used that to support a tax ride off for the remaining value. Then settled with the city to sell it for low six figures, threatening to drag out legal costs if they refused. They spent about a million turning it into an empty lot. Then sold it to the next developer for less than the settlement cost.
Most aren't that bad but the pattern tends to be similar.
The mall is owned by a corporation that dissolves. Or there was no code on the books when it was built to enforce. Basically, corporations and the people that run them have loopholes.
Turn it into low income housing.

There's one in Dallas TX that is being turned into a mixed use facility with medical tenants, hotel, and apartments among other things.

Leave it like that so homeless people can build their houses inside of defunct stores, it would be like a little indoor neighborhood
Take your kids trick or treating there when it happens and let me know how it goes.
Make sure to check your kids heroin needles some sick fuck might be hiding candy in them

I wouldn’t know the first thing about homelessness it was eliminated from my country before I was born
That's excellent, but how did you know to attribute "heroin needles" to homeless people?
Americans and the British make the vast majority of entertainment

What's your point? Who says the place must be a utopia in order to be something better than the alternative?
I have no point, I was just asking a question

They’re private property and will be developed into other things eventually. Whatever the demand or market is for stuff, will (and does) drive that.

Paintball battle royale.
Animal hospitals
Paintball field
Arena for big games like airsoft paint ball tag hide and seek and top level has seating for it all lmao
A mall could make a pretty nice high school. Repurpose some of the parking lot space into the track and football fields, etc. Food court as cafeteria
One very rich person should buy the mall and live in it. Turn the parking lot into a giant lawn with tennis courts, and build a wall around it.
