It consumes large amounts of land into this one monolithic planned area beholden to one property owner, and yes, all issues w/ parking, etc. I would rather have a vibrant network of street-level properties w/ a healthy ecosystem of individual property owners surrounding a mass transit hub (i.e. LA metro stations if the metro can ever be developed to be useful...) The Caruso malls are imposing, Mordor like fortresses that gives the middle finger to the communities around it. Once inside, people with money can enjoy whatever corporate chain stores that can afford Caruso's rent and the property manager's whims.
