re: What's the issue with strip malls and what is the alternative?

Agreed, but what city doesn't have a million of them?

For example, cities like Houston and Atlanta get criticized for having a lot of strip malls. What city doesn't?

And of the cities that don't have a ton of strip malls, what do they have in place of them?

Ummmm. New Orleans, for one. I also imagine , San Francisco, New York and Boston for two, three and four. Shall I continue?

The "new" cities are ugly, have no character, no historical value and are boring. ex. Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Orlando, etc. Strip malls are just one indicator of such lame, mass produced, plastic cities.
