[Vision2020] The Hawkins Mall . . .

[Tom Hansen]

Kai Eiselein inquires:

"So what is the difference between paving over land for a mall and paving it over for a bunch of cookie cutter houses in a subdivision or a giant apartment complex besides the fact that I haven't heard too many people complaining about the latter?"

Those possibilities might be worthy of evaluation and comparison if anybody actually sought to accomplish either one.  But, since absolutely nobody is considering "paving over land for . . . a bunch of cookie cutter houses in a subdivision or a giant apartment complex", it isn't worth the though, huh Mr. Eiselein?

Mr. Eiselein goes on to suggest:

"As for it being a "mega" mall, Tom needs to get real, there isn't the population base to support an extremely large mall."

Alas, something Mr. Eiselein and I agree on . . . as substantiated by the infinite comings and goings of retailers from the Palouse Mall.

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .
