Is It Any Surprise Kansas City Won't Support Light Rail?

I came across this sign as I was at KC's Ward Parkway mall today. It seems like a not-very-subtle form of economic bias, if not blatant racism -- "Don't come to the mall if you don't have a car." The purpose is to keep people from loitering -- I get that and I know that it's a legitimate business concern. But this policy doesn't seem to be the way to address it. It seems to say avoid the mall if you are don't have a car, if you ride the bus, if you have to wait on a cab, or -- taken literally -- if you have walked here from across the street. Our city is very mobile -- the metropolitan area encompasses a lot of land, and almost everyone does have a car. But if we are trying to become a greater city, it seems a poor solution to have corporate policies that smother the use of public transportation. The Ward Parkway mall is pretty much in the center of town. Can you imagine a location in the heart of Chicago or Boston with a sign like that? If I'm wrong -- if these signs do exist in major cities -- let me know, and send me a picture.
