Place, a covered shopping mall in the heart of the California coastal city, he has shown a unique and uncanny ability to blend commerce and showmanship into a magnetizing force in the inner city. In the process, he has also sought to reshape current-day thinking about the functions and rewards of city life. The Rouse philosophy revolves not so much around real estate as around meeting the needs and desires of people?which, to say the least, seemed bizarre to most mortgage bankers when he was starting out.

It's a drive-in town; what was once America's largest shopping mall, up the street a very busy McDonald's and Burger King, down the road those big discount houses with name-brand stereos, $179.99 for two weeks only.
