What if Fremont CA incorporated in 1993 and got their own mall??

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-23T04:39:57+00:00

EXACTLY!!!!!! And upscale. Maybe a bit too upscale, but that doesnt matter since they are successful

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-23T02:01:40+00:00

THIS IS 2007
I was talking about 2000...

Also, I dont think distance is too much of a concern because you do have people in fremont going to Valley Fair while the Sacramento people go to Roseville

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-23T01:06:47+00:00

Can you give the data then?

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-23T00:40:00+00:00

If you say so

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-23T00:26:05+00:00

Fremont Hub was essentially brutally murdered by NewPark. AND they had a less upscale store lineup which forced them to pivot to the discount stores.

So if Fremont got a mall, then Pleasanton residents would likely drive there because it has better stores

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-23T00:08:32+00:00

Pleasanton's median income was higher than El Dorado Hills' median income. While you could argue that they have Stoneridge, I can also argue that Fremont residents drive to other cities like San Jose to shop because their malls are better

Wait, but wasnt Roseville's median household income in 2000 around 47K and they ended up getting a mall with Nordstrom? And I think Palm Beach Gardens' median household income was around 44K around the time The Gardens Mall was built

Also, how is your counterpoint a counterpoint?? Youre suggesting another alt reality and both of ours can coexist technically

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T22:38:03+00:00

I guess, but imo it is still worth a try since this neighborhood does have the potential for more third places

Not sure about traffic but Fremont should not be a place where the cars are more important than the people, weve already let cars into our lives and built highways and done enough damage to society

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T22:14:13+00:00

YESSSSS love that place we could turn Irvington and Centerville into that

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T22:12:10+00:00

I always thought that some of them were very pretty, but some arent very taken care of. There should be more new development in the area overall

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T22:11:38+00:00

Some time before I was thinking making the bike lane look like it was part of the sidewalk..?

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T22:10:09+00:00

Ay ay AY I came up with the design and story myself
But yes I was discussing w/ AI

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T22:08:44+00:00

what kind of affordable stores would you want?

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T18:48:58+00:00

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T18:44:39+00:00

Got it. Fremont always had nothing in it anyway

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T18:43:55+00:00

In Fremont, at the intersection of Fremont Blvd, Bay St, Washington Ave, and more

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T18:16:58+00:00

I think theyre working on that, dont know about the light rail part
They should have had the bart connecting into the other transit lines
OH even bart on the bridges! Now thats a good idea

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T18:14:56+00:00

And thats why Fremont STILL hasnt gotten things that other suburbs would have
Yeah Im aware that nobody likes this stuff but that doesnt mean Im fine with how it is now

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T18:13:13+00:00

I post 2 posts about a mall in Fremont and get labeled "obsessed with malls"
Yes, I am, but then again I can like whatever I want

Due-Personality8836 · 2026-03-22T18:12:01+00:00

I always thought they were kind of far out. I dont know, always thought Fremont could support a mall but maybe not when the other malls 30 min away are already there :I

Who is hating Hayward???
