It did take for a long time in other areas. (Long = approximately the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.) But visits to malls across the US have been declining for some time.

- xeromal 5y agoYeah, I guess I meant why didn't it stay. Was it too much expansion or is the culture in Los Angeles just different?
- foepys 5y agoMaybe it's simply because among the millions and millions of LA residents there are enough people who still like malls. Other areas might not be able to compensate the general loss of interest.
