Buildings not even built strong enough for multipurpose use. Ahh the "efficiency" of capitalism...
Also, no one said it has to be rennovated to be exactly like normal apartments. Some mixedly shared living spaces exist in some entire cultures for crying out loud.
Because most non-US cultures didn't decide to build their cities in the stupidest way possible.
Brazil is as young as the US and, despite interference from the former, still managed just fine to build walkable cities. Japan too.
America is supposed to be a melting pot of different cultures, I think we can make it work and I'm sure those who are unhoused would much rather be able to live in a communal space with a roof and shower than nothing. Fuck corporate real estate profits and let the people live ffs
I’ll take an entire floor for the cost of one bachelor unit.
If you think that’s not fair to the building owner, I agree, they made a bad investment.
That's what I'm saying, convert them to ridiculously high end massive floor plan condos, we don't need whole buildings of studios and 1br
Please. Will somebody think of the poor poor investors?
This might come as a shock to you but, human dignity doesn't give a fuck about commercial real state value. Because commercial real estate owners don't give a fuck about human dignity. So reciprocating the same level of care is fine for most.
You're a bad person. I'm glad that you recognize that. It puts my moral judgment at ease to know that you're perfectly aware that you are a bad person.
You may be correct but we need to think of solutions. Not just rely on conventional wisdom thats says it's not possible by current standards
Oh no! Too bad they don't sell common plumbing supplies at the Home Goddamned Depot.
