@metallidan Good advice. Enjoy beautiful Burlington. #btv

As #btv considers repurposing commercial office space, this read is very illustrative. Projects get more complicated as buildings get newer.

[Antonia @antonia_mdprjct]

Whenever I hear someone talking about how easy it would be to convert an office building to residential, I think of the first repositioning project I ever worked on.

500K SF of semi-vacant office into 500+ luxury rental apts. 1958 vintage building w/ some asbestos & a complex structure.

[Alex R. Farrell @AlexRFarrell]

We give lip service to addressing the housing crisis, but when tangible solutions are presented to lawmakers, legislative leadership allows two committee chairs to water down progress.

We say we want to treat housing as a human right in VT, but we have yet to truly act on it.
