@dennisaskeland7603 A mall is a superstore . . .
The houses and businesses in the U.S. are all built where it is best to build them on an economic basis. That is how we have always done it and want it. When a business builds in the most economical location, they have the best chance of succeeding and not going bankrupt. We want them to succeed. And if the business is built in the most economical location, they can offer the lowest prices on their wares.
Houses are built in subdivisions by building companies and they build them where they are able to buy cheap land, but close enough to amenities and jobs that people will want to buy the house. That keeps the builder from going bankrupt and it also make the home sale price as low as possible.
After the subdivision is built and people start moving into the new houses, followup businesses will start putting new businesses in between your new house and your job and fill in all of that empty space. Having families living in the new houses makes it economical to put new businesses out that way.
These companies do market studies called "feasibility studies" before building to determine where the business has the best chance of success.
Using this method makes it easy for consumers to get to the stores they need to go to because a market planning engineer has thought it all out in advance.
We do not have much government planning. Market engineers do most of the planning.
I personally am against putting cities on the plains because we grow wheat on the plains. I am against putting cities on any farmland. I would like to see all cities put in the deserts or mountains.
But they always do everything the most economical way and economics rules everything here.
At or near a mall, you are likely to find KFC, White Castle, Burger King, Arby's, McDonald's, Olive Garden, Denny's and Steak and Shake all within walking distance of each other. But Americans will drive from one parking lot to the next.
You figure out that one.

@seanedghill5025 So the richest country in the world with the largest GDP in the world, having one of highest standards of living, the largest military in the world, who live in the largest houses with all conveniences, such as central heating and air-conditioning and 2-car attached garages with a car and a truck in the garage are "like a third world country"?
**************
The facts are . . that the Americans created your whole life:
Every minute of every day of your life an American invention is giving YOU a better life. So let us look at some American inventions that YOU could not live without:
Lightbulbs
Aluminum foil
Frozen Food
Canned Food
Can Openers
Microwave Dinners
Peanut Butter
Breakfast cereals
French Fries
Fluoridated water that prevents cavities
Durable Vehicle tires
Electric starters for cars
Generators to charge car batteries
Airplanes
The Modern Jet Engine
Electric well pumps that bring water to your house
Electric power generating stations
The whole electrical grid
Every fan or blower in your heating system
Your air conditioner
Your refrigerator
Your microwave oven
Automatic Clothes washing machine
Radios
Television
Satellite telecommunications
GPS
Fiber optic cables
Lasers
Sound and music recording
Industrial computers
Desktop computers
Laptop computers
Cell phones
Smart phones
Smart watches
Videos
The internet
Anything with a transistor or microchip
The factory assembly line
Cotton Gin
Various Farming Equipment
Metal-hulled Ships
Petroleum refining into gas and diesel
Petroleum refining into plastics
Polyester and Nylon
Nuclear power
Solar panels for green energy transition
and . . .
Soft Drinks (Have a Coke. 🧋)
Then there are business models invented by Americans:
McDonald’s
Burger King
Kentucky Fried Chicken
Starbucks
Circle K
Tesla
Walmart.….
It was ALL invented in America.
And if you live in a constitutional republic, the Americans invented your entire political system.
An American farm yields up to 30,000 pounds of potatoes per acre.
The fact is that Americans are so ingenious that the United States patent office has over 3 million American patents on file.
The Americans are the smartest, most creative, most industrious people in the world who created the entire modern world.
Without the United States of America YOU would be living in a cave, stone building, or wood hut with a thatched roof, carrying your water from a stream in a bucket with half of your teeth missing and cooking and heating over a campfire using wood that YOU PERSONALLY went out and gathered from a forest. And you would be using the bathroom outdoors and washing your clothes in a stream.
Your connection to the outside world would be extremely limited and depending on your specific situation, you may not even know what is happening beyond your own village -- let alone around the world. 🌎
My advice is that before you "laugh" at any American, first try going without American invented lightbulbs 💡 for 24 hours and learn how American 🇺🇸 ingenuity has helped YOU see 👀 in the dark.
