I remember learning that in the 90s some companies had this useless asset: gas pipelines that spanned the country, but had dried up and were not being used.
Other companies had a problem: how to acquire the rights to lay fiber from one end of the country to the other.
Some very smart person realized you could lay the fiber in the old pipes.
Question: what can be done with all that retail space? Is there a new use of space that will come up?
Related question: what are the properties of malls that we might use? (parking, close to residences, easy to walk through)
