San Francisco businesses struggle to hang on as tech workers stay home

the way you talk im sure you swept and moped the floor for those engineers real well.

a comercial steel and concrete building can be easily remodled for other commercial uses, it was designed for that, but it was not designed for easy remodeling into residential space. like i said sewer lines are the biggest issue. in order to add a sewer line to each potential apartment you would have to cut and carve multiple lines through iron rebar reinforced concrete.

since you need to gut the building down to its skeleton to do this, it is literally easier and cheaper to tear the building down and build a new one from scratch, since you have to tear it half down anyway.
