They are all inside Holt Renfrew as leased departments at Yorkdale. And again, suburban development in North America is different than Europe. European suburbs tend to be less wealthy, either lower or middle class. Not bastions of wealth. Why even compare European urban development to North American urban development when you know they are completely different?
And again, they are there because the population supports them. They generate employment. Why be a fascist about supportable and organic development. Do all suburbanites have to shop at Wal-Mart?
