I'm amazed how popular the Westfield at Bondi Junction in Australia still is, it's like Australians missed the whole "nobody goes to the mall anymore" message.

California is full of malls. I thought one use would be to convert them into vertical(ish) farms. You have tall open spaces, large areas for shipping, a local workforce, and potentially local sales as well.
However, just last week I was reading that the business model for vertical farms just doesn't work....yet.
