No ones acquires an entire apartment building in the first place with the purpose of living in it. They do it to become rent-seeking parasites.

But to your hypothetical, they could create a co-op as @queermunist@lemmy.ml mentioned.

Not an apartment complex, but a building makes sense.

I'm not saying it's just, but there are some loans that allow you to buy a quadplex but you have to live there. You are free to rent out the remaining units.

wrong, run down apartments occasionally are cheaper than bulk climate controlled storage units while being completely usable for that purpose
