It's definitely working for them, selfish a-holes.

Los Angeles is offering them $1 rent on a 10,000sq/ft space in an underground mall for 10 years. That's savings of almost $200,000 a year.
And they are to be given free farm land.
If this happens, then no way people will shop at that mall anymore. sucks for other store owners.
and no way they are going to go work to produce anything.
Great job, L.A.
