The “Huge Potential” of Turning Abandoned Malls Into Much-Needed Housing Across the US
Across the United States, people are struggling to find homes they can afford. Also throughout the country, an abundance of retail space is sitting empty. A rising real estate trend could make a dent in both problems: turning abandoned malls and shopping
into affordable housing.

@nursefrombirth It’s a spectacular idea. Yet in my home town where they are considering it? They project a one bed apartment to be 2400 a month, how does that help a senior citizen?
@MidnightRider That's is expensive. I thought the idea was to increase affordable housing. Kind of defeats the purpose right 🤔
@nursefrombirth it’s crazy expensive and unfortunate. A facility like that could have a walking track, medical facilities inside, barbershop, grocery store, a self-contained walkable little city I would love to live in a place like that as I age.
@nursefrombirth It’s far cheaper at the moment for me to stay in my house. If they don’t make the offer far more attractive, they will have to drag me out of here.
