It's like I said on http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8306

What are they thinking? Two simlar projects that close with that population base are going to spread the store offerings too thin and increase the spawl. What inevitably happens is that one mall fails in time because there's not enough business to keep it afloat.

It would be better for everyone involved if the stores gathered at one exit and a coordinated trasportation and pedestrian system to move people from the highway and parking to the main center through the coming satelite centers was constructed. The way they're setting this up, people who want to comparasin shop at, say, Belk & Dillard's will have to get back in the car and repark, wasting gas and time.
