I found this:

Here, it appears people were grasping at straws to save a historically important building situated in a fairly convenient spot of a decent size city. So somebody invested $10 million to do this renovation, creating a whopping 48 apartments, many of which are 225 square feet!
Change the configuration file to location=outskirts and mall=half_abandoned_piece_of_shit and I shudder thinking of the business model that would support this at scale.
Whatever that would be, Cinnabon seems about the right smell for it.
