The literal only other time I have seen a school turned into apartments was for subsidized housing, they needed to all but gut the inside of the building to make it work. This was not done here, these are class rooms with extra plumbing.
The overlap of the good news posts and dystopian posts have always been oddly large.
Your article says they had trees growing inside the building...
And that they worked with a parks department to maintain the original look.
So ironically, them trying to maintain the history is why you think they're overcharging.
They wanted to make it a "we work" at first, its not the overcharging that is the issue. The issue (at least for me) is turning every thing into a business venture. This was once a public building for teaching kids and was bought on the cheap to turn into another trendy revenue source.
Lol what a comment
