They open the gates for criminals and illegals, while touting "inclusion." Yet they evict what appear to be high-end businesses, that happen to be minority-owned. (BTW, I'm a White guy).
No Small Businesses Allowed. Renting 2 or 3 business spaces in a mostly vacate looking mall, then kick out business. Wow, super Sad. So the new corporate owners clearly do not care about San Diego and small business. Super greedy Corporations.
As a small business owner, how do you not see what is coming. All the malls are changing it really should have been no surprise to them. I'm glad they stayed in business and relocated.
Stay at it, brother anytime you work that hard for something and someone that you pay money to simply says you have to get out that is devastating. You’ll find another opportunity soon bro ✊🏾✊🏾🙏🏽💪🏽🙌🏽
They saw this coming for the last couple years. Westfield is bailing, those properties (Grossmont Mall as well) are being converted to Condos. MoMony, MoMony.
Mission Valley mall is worn out, has mostly t-shirt shops and is populated by caregivers and their clients wandering about and taking up seating. Face it, it's become an open air asylum. It's in need of a makeover.
why does it seem like San Diego's government is very unfriendly towards local businesses. I've been seeing negative publicity what with the whole yoga controversy and now this. It makes me wonder if i even want to entertain opening up a business in San Diego.
It's obvious. So sad. I get it, I really do, but it just goes to show that equality does not exist and never has no matter how straight of a line you walk.
I've been going to the 24 Hour Fitness gym at the Mission Valley Mall for many years. The demographics there have changed. It used to be primarily anglo-americans that filled up this gym. Not anymore. It has changed. This is an observation. The MVM is dead.
The mall doesn't want the crowd that comes with these people! Its unfortunate, but the mall has a right to protect itself! Its like a bar with to many drunks, they just don't need the extra problems or law suits! But in this case, instead of biker jackets the patrons can't keep their pants up ! Its sad because this guy seems like a hard worker! 😊 And don't trust cbs to give you the whole truth !
We can vote with our wallets loud and clear..The new direction they are going in is a Conversion to Living places its business they want to use more people in that spot..Money is the thing that has no Expression of Racism it cuts equally both alike. So let us vote with our Wallets
You'd think shopping malls wouldn't be too choosy.
I feel terrible for this gentleman. I wonder what this new vision might be. Hard not to be suspicious without knowing that.
Seeing as how UTC got a facelift and Fashion Valley planning to build high end housing, Mission Valley getting ready to follow suit
More apartments

My new vision for Mission Valley shopping center is to never spend another penny there due to their dumb decision. My new direction.
I thought they were gonna put a bunch of townhouses there

What beautiful spaces he made as well! That’s bonkers & sad because honestly the places he made are so nice & aesthetic.
It would be nice if there was a list of all the businesses that are not able to renew their leases.
Guy should hire some people to deconstruct everything he had built and relocate. Strip it of everything he paid for.
I wish you nothing but the best! Don’t look back! Keep your eye on the prize! You’ve got some great enterprises going, so it’s their loss.
So basically they’re kicking all of the black people out.
Jesus christ
Gtfoh!! That’s the thing with black people if you do ANYTHING that they do t like or against them right away it’s racism 😂
Lazy excuse.
Tfoh stop your nonsense
Your ridiculous.
How do they evict with no reason
It’s not eviction it’s not choosing to renew the lease.

What is really going on?😢
They're building townhouses and apartments in the middle of the mall 😂
So anything urban basically is out. They want to create a luxury style of housing so they can charge more
There were also non-urban businesses that didn't have their leases renewed.
A cigar bar and a jewelry store are not necessarily "urban."
Glad you have the boldness to tell it as it is!
Damn they gave no reason ?
Doesn't fit with the look they are going??

Boycotting

The white direction. Interesting. Shame.
playing the race card, typical.
Per the report, 70% of the stores are minority owned.
Thats California for you. Kick out anyone who cant afford a million dollar home
Times are changing. They want to create something more diverse for everyone. Not just one particular race.

so sad ,all that beautiful work he did being thrown into the drain. Probably wants higher rents
Otay Ranch is better anyway.

Rich democrats use them for votes, but own malls. They don’t want to live next to them as neighbors and don’t. Wake up.

What are the current demographics?
Yep
Don’t get bent outta shape

Coporate Greed pushing out the Small Business Owners
Tbh the new direction is the right direction 😊😊❤
Of course they say it's a black thing... They shouldn't have responded
The rich investors don’t want their mall to turn into a swap meet
But you committed to a fixed term lease. Negotiate better next time.
