Awesome, some of my favourite clubs were sold off to be used as offices. Can we turn them back into clubs now?
I know you mean like drinking and dancing, but in my head I'm like "yeah my chess club DESERVES a nice building"
Well after I wrote it I thought, dancing-and-intoxicants clubs are meaningful to me and my friends, but I bet there's all sorts of other clubs that would benefit from a dedicated, affordable space to flourish. Your chess club DOES deserve a nice building.
YOU get a building! And YOU get a building... and YOU get a building!
You can call it The Queenside Castle.
For real, use all that land for something actually good for communities and cities say... affordable spaces for small businesses?
Small businesses on lower floors, apartments up top, I fail to see a problem.
I love when cities have the small business + apartment layout.
Especially when the ground level has something useful like a bodega, so people can just go downstairs for food and necessities instead of driving somewhere.
A lot of city centers in Europe are like that but there's definitely been an effect of suburbanization due to prices rising in the centers.
While completely different, the best place I know for what you describe is Hong Kong, you can go down to grab a bite within 50m, pretty much 24/7.
There are so many amazing things those buildings can be, instead of soulsucking pointless offices!
