In the USA roughly 2,000 stores from a total of only 8 retailers are expected to be closing this year. In addition that is a lot of ugly empty commercial space sitting around and gathering litter and debris in the parking lot and thereby diminishing the overall effect on the environment. I think ghost malls are the ugliest thing going.

The mass consumer market is dying. In a two class society there's no place for a massive overhang of box stores and malls. We're entering the new feudalism with it's huge tin roofed slums and tent cities as more and more people drop off into poverty. This is a country that can't even employ it's people anymore, like Mexico. The wealthy, hate working people , hate them.
Truth is if I want something, I go to Amazon, I utterly hate going to malls. But I also believe that the erosion of the American economy is well under way and that it's casualty list is growing and growing.
