The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

David Simon, Mall King Who Was Both Feared and Admired, Dies at 64
As head of Simon Property Group, he defied critics who said that malls were dinosaurs

David Simon, whose ruthless negotiating tactics, obsession with details and sheer force of will turned his family’s real-estate business into the largest mall owner in the country, died Sunday after a cancer diagnosis in 2024. He was 64 years old.

During his more than three decades as Simon Property Group’s chief executive, the inveterate dealmaker gobbled up competitors and defied critics, who said malls were obsolete. Over a decadeslong buying spree, he cobbled together an empire that spanned 250 properties and 206 million square feet—giving Simon control of more retail space than anyone in the world.
