Malls in dense cities are great, actually. Asia is packed full of them and the malls are packed full of people.

- brabel 3y agoI was at this mall a few years ago, on my first time in SF. I was really disappointed. I was expecting something grandiose, like you'll see in China, Singapore, Qatar... but this mall was basically like what you'd see in a slightly decadent, midsize city somewhere very unremarkable, i.e. not what I expected in a city surrounded by the headquarters of some of the most valuable companies in the world which pay ridiculously high salaries to thousands of people each.
- CydeWeys 3y agoHudson Yards in NYC is nicer, but still nothing I've seen in the US tops the best urban malls I've seen in Asia. They're truly on another level.
