What Is There Too Much Of In Malden?

MALDEN, MA - Moderation is key. As Patch editors, we often hear back from readers regarding which businesses they would like to see come to Malden. We also receive complaints about what there is too much of in your town- whether it be traffic, businesses, or crime-related.

So we asked our readers on Facebook, “What does Malden have too much of?”

Here’s what you said:

• “Too many people not knowing their neighbors. I yearn for a great block party and people socializing”

• “Dirty streets. I know the street sweepers clean every week but people are so inconsiderate and just toss trash everywhere.”

• “Everyone is just saying apartments/condos - which is wrong. I’m happy we have so many apartments., but the infuriating thing about it is that no one in the middle class can afford them!”

• “Malden has too many Chinese restaurants”

• “Definitely potholes.”

• “Empty stores where retail business should be for example: downtown Malden!”

• “Pedestrians that don’t know how to cross the street.”

• “Barbershops! Nothing against barbershops, but seriously, why so many barbershops?”
