I can't remember enjoying going to the mall either and I guess I assumed that was because I wasn't into clothes because gender dysphoria but I suppose there were actually reasons people liked to go to the mall. My experience growing up in Suburbia was that it was completely socially dead
Basically adults hated teenagers and kids so they banned them from everywhere and then they still want happy and now they're angry at kids staying inside all day because they destroyed outside. Destroy the possibility of having a normal social life and then go after the consolation prize too just despite them. You know the same assholes that want to take away kids phones aren't going to consent to any kind of urban planning changes to make it easier for them to have offline friends
