Convert em into fucking homeless shelters
Or regular ass fucking apartments too. One of the most unlivable cities in the country in terms of cost.
But seriously do make many into homeless residences so they can have free housing and get off the street.
Yeah it did great as a working class city, it could be one again
next, convert their owners into the homeless
Good
Will someone think of the landlords?!
I’m cool with that… But when the fuck did we start taking anything McKinsey says at face value?
Those fuckers couldn’t forecast the future of the question was"what do you want for lunch this afternoon". Those dipshits thought what Rikers needed was more violent guards.
They’re saying this because some CEOs want to hear it
Hmm maybe our downtowns don’t need to be giant concrete eyesores anymore.

This is why all the politicians pushed so hard to get everyone back to work in London too. Scumbags!
Fuck them realtors.
What’s risk without that chance of loss? Your game is inherently unfair and profitable, so don’t be surprised when everyone plays it and you suddenly gotta compete ya fuckwads!
Keep in mind that’s not a bad thing. Owners of the properties lose, people who might use the properties for other things (a much larger group) win.
A related note It’s extremely difficult to transform office spaces into apartments.
Yeah, I mentioned the main problems in another comment. Plumbing has to be updated, and windows are often non-opening. The footprint itself might be so large the center doesn’t have adequate access to windows anyway. Am I missing anything?
There’s other possible commercial applications too, though, and then whatever spaces the restaurants or clothing stores have moved out of might be simpler to convert to housing.
can’t they print slop like this in their rich people yacht magazines instead of pretending to present it as something sympathetic to the public?
I hope we can convert them to apartments fairly easily. That’ll help put downwards pressure on housing and apartment prices.

Cool video!
I know the plumbing can be retrofitted in some cases, but I wonder about the windows. From a complete laymen’s perspective it seems like you should be able to swap out every few with some sort of emergency exit. The interior of the building might have to stay commercial, which could actually be nice for the residents. I’d love to live across the hall from a grocery store.
Good.
Well ok
