If you didn't see this in the news, it's pretty unusual, creative, and interesting. This past week construction began in South Los Angeles and pictured below is a Costco surrounded by 800 apartments. The Costco warehouse/store is 185,000 square feet and the apartments range from 350 to 605 square feet.
The complex will have 23% of the apartments for low income residents. They will also have a rooftop pool, basketball court, and gardens. This may be the future in solving the housing crisis.
This got me thinking about chicken, Costco's famous rotisserie chicken. Would you be able to smell chicken in your apartment? I once drove a guy who lived on the same block as a barbecue place and he loved waking up in the morning and smelling barbecue-I get that!
I have seen apartments or condos in Charleston that are above a Publix supermarket, but what other places would you like to live next to or on top of?
PIZZA PLACE: For those of you who love pizza, can you smell the aroma with your bedroom window open? How about a pie delivery in three minutes?
STARBUCKS: It's not that they are at every other corner, what if you lived with a Starbucks? Could you somehow resist getting a coffee, now? How about, now? What about after you finish reading this?
WAL-MART: It's all there. You have an aisle of cereal with 4,495 different kinds, according to Mr. Google. It's not just in your neighborhood, you are their neighbor!
MEINEKE: You want an oil change? They come to your apartment, get your key and go to parking space 222 and they bring the key and the receipt back when they are done right to your door.
So, the next time you are ready to move, who would you really like to have as a neighbor?
