If all the strip malls went away?
Think about that for a second. The endless miles of dull store fronts, most selling cheap crap, just gone.
Go ahead...I'll wait.
Most everything we buy today can be purchased easier and with more feedback online. Sure there are exceptions, my own personal rule is "Anything that has to fit well" is never bought online. But aside from shoes and nice clothing that leaves pretty much everything else.
What could we do with this space?
1) More open space parks
2) Corridors for public transport
3) Return it to the wildlife
The options are really endless.
And the cool thing is that we don't even have to enact laws or go through any bureaucracy to make it happen. Just buy online. The stores will slowly disappear and maybe, just maybe, we can be rid of the kitsch infested landscape we are forced to endure.
