The churches are as empty as the retail outlets.  They are next!

Sure some would make great homeless shelters, some would make great schools (since you already have areas sectioned off for classrooms and a large area for food/cafeteria), some could be converted to other retail idea, some are taking up space and could be made into a park...

Who has the money to renovate and maintain them?  Certainly not school districts.

Apparently my home town has the money to build two brand new schools so some do.

Min already mentioned the money aspect, even if you could get the property as part of bankruptcy liquidation. Many of the stores are actually rented space so it would be up to the property owner.

Even if you could get the property reasonably, fighting zoning ordinances to substantially change it's use could be a real problem.

What do you think would be the best public use of these vast, empty buildings?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
