    God, imagine the incredibly cheap office space you'll be able to rent out if it really does collapse. Yes I think I will have a 2000 square foot former insurance brokerage to use as an art studio for 200 dollars a month split between 2 buddies

    Living spaces as well, sometimes, but many buildings won't work for that.

      For 200 a month, I will find a way to make that a living space if it means I have to shit in a bucket

      I wonder how many times over we could house every person without a home in idle commercial real estate?
