The “Huge Potential” of Turning Abandoned Malls Into Much-Needed Housing Across the US
Across the United States, people are struggling to find homes they can afford. Also throughout the country, an abundance of retail space is sitting empty. A rising real estate trend could make a dent in both problems: turning abandoned malls and shopping
into affordable housing.

@nursefrombirth When I was going to college in Phoenix there were a few people in my school who were in a group that was squatting in an abandoned mall. There were about 15 or 20 people total, and they weren't breaking anything or doing damage, but then some other people moved in and ended up starting a fire and everything was locked up.
@nonayadambidnes Would be a good use of space and perhaps extend some affordable housing to people who need it.
