    California state lawmakers are grappling with a particularly 21st-century problem: What to do with shopping malls and big box retail stores left empty by consumers shifting to online purchases. A possible answer: build badly needed housing on these sites.http://apne.ws/SoqauEb

        They are environmental scourges and require far too much precious water to maintain. I agree! They should be repurposed in a manner that serves the most locals. Golf is hardly enjoyed by the majority of a community regardless of socioeconomic status. How ‘bout community gardens!

        We have one high school that's built on the lot of a former minimall and it worked out great. Another former mall is being turned into apartments. It's a neat trend.

        Affordable and low income housing! The wealthiest state has among the highest rate of homelessness and housing insecurity! That’s simply unacceptable! Californians really must collectively STOP ACCEPTING IT!

        Are they not private property? If not then give them back to the community In which they are in along with the resources to build whatever they need or lack.

        Duh. That the homeless issue is not on the top of their minds as it relates to all abandoned real estate, and pretty much everything else, shows how they (de)prioritize the issue. When will homelessness be the priority? “As long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.” ~RFK

        Depends what the community needs. If affordable housing is at an acceptable level than knock it down and make a park. Otherwise attempt to make affordable housing that's not a concrete jungle.

        Affordable housing hasn't been at an "acceptable level" in California for at least a decade maybe longer. I know I used to live there and years ago the wait list for Affordable housing was 10 years and probably longer now. It's a no brainer but do they care? Doubt it.
