    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??

      This is how you get dystopian highrise slums

        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.
