[Vision2020] The Hawkins Mall . . .

I'm looking forward to the new shops and (hopefully) new restaurants. It might even draw more people from Pullman over who might just stop at Tri-State or have lunch at Sharis while they are out shopping.
I understand your concerns with the corridor being built up, but I think it is inevitable and possibly a relatively-unique situation with two college towns in two different states connected together like that, without either one being very large.

I don't like land paved over for houses or apartments, either. It seems to me we have enough housing close in town to not need more houses spreading out from the city and to be built on top of the hills in the country.
It doesn't do much good to complain about that either. I'm not going to be able to stop that development but, again, I don't have to like it.

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?
