>I imagine, at a point when hardly anybody can afford decent housing, that a lot of retail spaces will be squatted as housing. Typically residential and commercial areas are zoned differently. You can't just build a house, nor should you, on a strip mall or in an area that's unsafe for children due to four lane streets with high speed limits, lots of car traffic, no green spaces, no infrastructure to handle thousands of people, no parks, not enough sewage capacity, no public trans, etc. This would just create another Cabrini-Green style ghetto. Lets not repeat the mistakes of the past. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini%E2%80%93Green_Homes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini%E2%80%93Green_Homes
