  - The default check performed by the AI failed to look at the latest data to confirm the mall is gone (and obviously these four portals are gone).
  - Moreover, a simple internet search for “metro center mall redevelopment” will show many articles from the Phoenix Metro area news agencies discussing how the demolition will take about a year before the mall area is redeveloped into mostly residences, examples of news coverage is below.
