A food court near my house has slowly turned into an improvised coworking space.

It's relatively quiet (as food courts go). For a while, the café even offered a whole day's worth of coffee for a reasonable price.

What I don't get is why the increasingly empty malls in my state don't incentivise this more. At the very least they'd earn something from parking and some food and drinks.

Absent owners of malls don't want to think or work with the community to earn money. They just want big anchor store contracts like it's the 90s.
