Currently I live in Redford, Michigan(The Gateway to the Suburbs), very close to the closed Livonia Mall site. I cannot even begin to count all the empty buildings I see eveyday. Not to mention, many of these places did good business in the area and are needed, but decided to close down or move somewhere else like the comerica bank on Seven mile road. It closed about four months ago, but they left the ATM open, which there is always a line for. Another instance is the Farmer Jack that used to be across the street from Livonia Mall, it was always busy. Many of my neighbors shopped there and now there is nothing. If you live in north Redford, you have to drive at least 5 miles to get to a grocery store or even farther to find a restaurant that is not a coney island. I have read somewhere that Utah has a cap on urban sprawl, where people can only develop to a certain point. This forces businesses to redevelop some of these empty places instead of moving farther and farther away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
