Farley on Nostr: Living space doesn’t need to be created nearly as much as it needs to be released. ...
Living space doesn’t need to be created nearly as much as it needs to be released.
When you line it up:
churches with declining attendance
downtown corporate towers built for 5-day commutes that no longer exist
bank branches designed for a world of paper, lines, and tellers
…that’s an enormous amount of high-quality, already-built shelter just waiting for a new story.
Those buildings already have:
infrastructure
utilities
locations people actually want
structural longevity
What’s disappearing isn’t usefulness—it’s centralized purpose.
