Lance: What Bianchi said. Strip malls don't just create some neutral value economic growth while some time goes by until they can be turned into something better. Instead, strip malls actively promote car-oriented development that makes urban development more difficult in the future. And we could easily have been building urbanism in the mid-twentieth century and gotten ourselves enormous economic growth—we just didn't do that.

I encourage you to read Christopher Leinberger's The Option of Urbanism which covers this very topic.
