Now you're changing your argument - first you say that accessibility is poor and now you say that that it has no appeal.
Also, no need to study a route - we are in the 21st century - just type M City into waze if you're unfamiliar with the area. Or look for the enormous building - difficult to miss it.
Mind you although I actually agree to a certain extent that the market for retail lots is saturated, having village grocers located at M-City will be a fairly big plus to the residents of Taman TAR, Ukay Heights and to a certain extent, Ampang Hilir, where majority of residents would fall under the upper-middle to upper class income groups. There are very few upscale grocery stores in the area.
Hock Choon and Jaya Grocers are towards the end of the jalan ampang/jalan tun razak intersection, and village grocers would be an alternative to cold storage at GEM.
I don't know why you think I have changed my argument. My argument is still the same, one of the many negative points which is accessibility cause this M city has little or no appeal. The access roads you mentioned are easily missed, especially after the u turn, not for you but others who needs waze, traffic guidelines. You managed to briefly and clearly described how to get to M city doesn't mean it has good accessibility, it means it's accessibility is not good that's why it needs guides, GPS, Waze etc. Because of the accessibility people will compare this M city with other malls and shop nearby.Also, no need to study a route - we are in the 21st century - just type M City into waze if you're unfamiliar with the area. Or look for the enormous building - difficult to miss it.

To draw the crowd from those malls and shops you have to have something unique in M city, something worth the hassles and they don't mind the troubles to reach M city, something worth giving up the conveniency compare to other malls which have better accessibility, variety of shops and services. There are some fail malls and shops which have much better accessibility in a higher or similar population suburb such as cheras sentral, Scott garden which both fronting major traffic roads. M city?
Some may find it easy to access M city like you, and some find it difficult. How many people know about the small access road and the big road before flamingo? Good accessibility means those like GE mall, ampang point, tesco, if you can get what you want from those places why trouble yourself to go to M city?
It remains to be seen whether village grocer will be opened or not, even if it does, how long would it survive? Other shops? Will they ever be opened?
M city is a development where people will pass by, instead of stopping by.
