      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.

          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.

      most standard office floors dont have more than two or maybe 3 restrooms

      Oh no! Too bad they don’t sell common plumbing supplies at the Home Goddamned Depot.
