I'm okay with that, the last thing we need is dead shopping malls and box store sprawl in the suburbs that'd kill our cores. Much of this has to do with the fact that Canadian cities are denser and land is therefore pricier. I'm cool with more efficient, productive malls and more surviving farm land. It's not really cheaper when you take into account the extra public infrastructure required to make those stores so cheap. Slow and steady wins the race, like the man said, in the end we'll have the better urban form.
