I personally don't like shopping malls. But I can't deny that they're a social outlet, a "third place", a hangout location for a lot of people (senior citizens, teens and children). Not everywhere has Northern California climate.

Malls can certainly be done right. For example, Ikea run ones (I mean the rest of the mall not just ikea store) are usually pretty nice. It’s just that in US they tend to be very low quality and there are too many of them and location usually sucks. West coast tends to be worse at this too
