You love to see it.

Achsonaja,

Good

WarmSoda,

I like what this McKinsey guy is sayin.

WorldieBoi,

Aiming for a trillion.

I’m fine with that.

ForgetReddit,

Turn them all into housing we desperately need

“But office building pipes aren’t set up for that!”

Okay so make communal housing/bathrooms for cheaper rent or invest in expanding the plumbing

“But that’s too expensive!”

More expensive than $800 billion??

they’d never do that. then they’d be killing the housing bubble as well. think of the investors!

BorgDrone,

A bigger problem is the location, office building are not located in residential areas and as such lack a lot of facilities, e.g. no supermarkets and other shops in walking/cycling distance, no MD/pharmacy and other healthcare facilities, no schools or playgrounds, etc. etc.

XTornado,

I agree that it’s not great but it’s better than nothing. Plus some of those services could eventually appear or be setup even in the same building itself.

This is how you get dystopian highrise slums

warlord5432100,

This is already what many college dorms are today.

xapr,

I would have agreed up until about a week ago. There was a news story a few days ago about how there are people in LA renting various vehicles parked on public streets for people to live in. Then another story about how there are actually thousands of such “rentals” in LA. I think highrise slums might be a notch or two down from the current dystopia.

Yeah, great, build housing. Minimize commuting, minimize pollution, maximize autonomy, maximize bathrobe sales.

itsJoelleScott,

I haven’t worn a belt in months. 🥳

a_sensitive_anteater,

Oh, no…

Anyway

theragu40,

Oh no! Anyway…

sadreality,

Not enough!

Sounds generally positive to me.

shanghaibebop,

Why not. Cheaper rent for ailing urban areas, and more incentives for residential construction.

Plus people commuting less = less pollution and less congestion.

Good for people, good for the planet, bad for profit for some.

mean_bean279,

Yeah but less pollution in the sky means people can see the clouds, and that’s where my data is stored. 😡 I don’t want people seeing my data.

itchy_lizard,

Hopefully you mean more residential areas in mixed use. Zoning is cancer that destroys the climate
