The higher end higher income targetted "boutique" malls are doing very well actually. They may be emotional reasons but that doesn't make their current success less real. Major urban city ones seem to be doing better as well last I checked - although one component is shopping tourism over lower prices. (Not entirely sure how the border security theater's arbitrary invasiveness, and travel warnings over incidents like shootings, civil forfeiture, etc.). Apparently the ones dependent upon "service" as opposed to commodities thrive - even if that service is to be fashionable instead of expertise or convenience.
