Residential is the way forward. Many projects and formerly commercial buildings are getting the apartment conversion treatment, complete with bullshit interior dead spaces to meet regulatory requirements.

It's not a lie, it's commercial real estate!

At least in NYC, the requirement is that bedrooms need to have a window. Are there more requirements than that? I've had kitchens w/out windows in NYC. Bedrooms needing windows doesn't seem very BS to me.

Many more requirements. I said commercial conversions in some areas need to permanently render useless a portion of floor area for statute compliance.
