It Begins… Entire NYC Mall Closes Over Theft

The fulton center mall is shutting down. The tenant blames crime, but the city is suing the tenant and claiming crime is under control. What do you think?
This video was filmed in the public train stations at the Fulton center and occulus World Trade Center. Both are publicly accessible transit stations with shops. The two links below give more information on these publicly accessible transit stations.

I worked at an outdoor mall here in the Bay Area which would unfortunately get hit thieves on a daily basis. It was out of control and it’d be so brazen, sometimes with stores being hit in the morning hours. At a certain point I realized the frequency it was happening was due to the 3-4 entrances and exits this mall complex had. I always thought “Man, if only this place had some barricades, then maybe it’d help these businesses.” I did some shopping for the first time in several months and what do I notice: barricades at two points of access, so what you essentially have now is one way in and one way out. Not sure if crime has been reduced drastically but this same mall has stopped making the news here in the area. I say this to suggest that maybe poor city planning and development can create a host of problems in how it correlates to crime; if a mall, or shopping complex, or any business can be left vulnerable then it’s really easy for criminals to make a clean and quick getaway. It’s also one of the many factors why the Westfield here in San Francisco closed: BART was right there on the lower concourse - of course thieves are going to capitalize on that.

[@kandycepeterson2482]

Yeah, I'm in the bay area. East Bay. Lots of fentanyl addicts are moving to San Fran for a bigger variety of stores to rob. Then all they have to do is go around the corner to get fentanyl. They say people on both sides of the street stand on the sidewalk and come up to your car. Plus homeless in San Fran get 600 a month . Too many addicts were all robbing the same stores in the Concord area. They were getting in fights over which stores they claim as theirs. Lol I lived in Martinez worst neighborhoods for 5 years so I heard all the news and scams from the hood! Lol

[@VandalSauvage]

@@kandycepeterson2482 Yep. I’m in the East Bay too. I wasn’t aware how complex these crime rings are but with the way things are right now I wouldn’t be surprised if this puts the nail in the coffin with brick and mortar stores entirely. It’s an absolute mess.

A few months ago both my grandparents who are in their mid 90's, said and I quote "We never had these kinds of problems back in our day" "Back in our day, we were able to leave our house with doors and windows opened, walk several miles to the store or visit a friend for a few hours, and when we came back home a few hours later, our home was never entered or touched. People respected other people's property" My grandmother continued to say, "I would be able to have all the windows opened at night in the summer, go to sleep and not worry about being robbed or burglarized". "These days now, if its now welded down, someone will take it, and even then someone will find a way to take it, even if its welded" Both my elderly grandparents have seen a lot in life and experienced many changes humanity has gone through in the 90's. And they both said, things are far worse now.

My brother was in San Francisco a year or so ago. Stopped in a drug store to get something and noticed a security guard by the register. People were bringing items up to check out, but they never paid. Just walked right out the store. Apparently the Governor decreed that you can shoplift up to $999.99 and just get a misdemeanor. This is going on in a lot of the major cities. Businesses are closing down and are either moving or going out of business. The legal system is overwhelmed. Jails are filled to capacity. Not enough police. And the sheer stupidity of a city suing a store owner because they are closing down due to theft and lost profits/inventory.........I have no words to describe this shart show.

The Fulton Center is a transit hub FIRST and a shopping mall SECOND by design. The stores may close but they're not shutting down this crucial MTA connection point. Connecting 8 lines to 4 more lines plus PATH is massively important. One partial solution would be to have the PANYNJ purchase the Fulton Center from the MTA outright, with the MTA only being responsible for the stations themselves, as in the WTC mall. If the Port Authority owned the Fulton Center, it could fully integrate it into the WTC mall as a simple extension, with Westfield operating the entire expanded shopping center seamlessly and the Fulton portion being given the same high security as the Oculus portion.
