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.
