5. Directional States (7.9 percent)
If you didn't get Virginia right the first time, what makes you think creating a West version is going to make up for it? Same goes for the Dakotas. For that matter, why in hell did we need a new Mexico?
Suggested reuse: Regift to England

4. Outlet Malls (12.9 percent)
Usually you happen upon one of these bargain-shopper concentration camps on your way to something else, only to rediscover why they created these stupid things: Nobody wanted any of this crap to begin with. Oh, but hey, those size 24 chrome Nike shot put cleats look awesome on you!
Suggested reuse: Overstock batting cages

3. VIP Rooms (14.8 percent)
If cash is for poor people, then VIP rooms are for the socially bankrupt. These holding pens for bottle service billionaires with delusions of grandeur more often serve to keep them away from us rather than the opposite. Real VIPs know better than to leave the stupid house.
Suggested reuse: Champagne rooms

2. Cemeteries (16.4 percent)
Sociologists predict that at some point in 2013 there will be more dead people on earth than there are living. Now, we just made that up, but it should be alarming enough for at least some West Texans to preemptively set themselves on fire. At the rate we're burying people, there won't be room left for more golf courses.
Suggested reuse: Dog parks

1. Golf Courses (17.0 percent)
Golf's a great way to get away from the annoying people of your daily life to compete idly with the annoying people of other people's daily lives. But its playing fields are more ubiquitous than herpes. Myrtle Beach alone has more than 100 of them, or roughly one for every textbook in town. Please, for the love of God, someone take up Tae Bo.
