Mayor Andre Dickens in Atlanta, GA, is doing the same for Atlanta development with affordable housing.
Really how could this ever be duh 🤣 I wonder the paint and glue huffers administration finally figured this one out are you sure that rent was ever this high. Noah scam when you see it people 😂
the 6th Age is starting very late 🙁
“Due to people wanting to buy their own property we just can’t give them that opportunity BIG GOVERNMENT”
Love this idea. Should do this with malls too
barely any conversion would be necessary for similar apartments to what they provide the homeless
Hopefully it will help with rent prices and empty downtown cities
More apartments to lock you in so you can't save money for a house or to get out.
I really hope these new apartments are affordable for the average worker
Just makes it easier to steal information from companies being that their employees are stretched across a wide area transmitting information daily
wow his grandfather set him up. must be nice
problem is, you have these 13 red libertarian states that pretends to be too broke to invest into things like this, that would re-zone these re-purposed areas, let it get fully occupied, then re-zone the building zone, put heavy taxes on it, then still pretend they're too broke to pay for anything, and what areas they would try to improve would turn into drug infested hellholes as a result, government doesn't want to solve the housing crisis because real estate is like oil, if the economy is getting bad, you just up the price to keep it afloat, but in real estate, the price hikes is just greed, there's a reason, government has stopped building housing, they know they can fabricate housing price hikes if they keep housing demand up, but keep supply very limited, they can keep their own pockets full if rent is $2200+/mo and $3500/mo mortgages
and each apartments will cost a gazillion dollars a month to rent.

Too bad his office/apartment conversion won't do enough to stem the problem. Its a good start. 😅
This is happening in London too
Hardly affordable housing-LOL
Just wait until the opposite happens.
They had this planned long before pandemic, living at your job a slave with the illusion of being free
I w😊
Will these be our 15 minute cities Own nothing and be happy!
