I have been thinking about making a video of how retailing is changing in the US, because I know it will be a shock to our EUers. The trend is towards HUGE areas of land taken up by multiple HUGE box stores of 50-200,000 square feet each. (here I am addressing the EUers and I can't be bothered to do the metric) In the one being built next around here, it will also contain residential blocks... to which I say, live where you shop, it may be an improvement in some ways, but in other ways things are getting really WEIRD.

Edit: 4645 m^2 to 18581 m^2 (square meters)
