I mean this would be kinda cool. Double chunk chocolate cookie for breakfast every day. Never run out of toilet paper.
whats sad is this is a great improvement to american urban society
the government should be building housing on top of costcos, and by that, i mean literally ON TOP of them. tear them down and build housing there
I don't get what's so uniquely bad about this? It sounds more like they're just renting out apartments, rather than tying you living there to your employment with Costco? Yes, rent is bad, but this doesn't really make them any worse than any other landlord?
Same, the post doesn't mention Costo workers directly.
Not saying it wouldn't happen, but isn't this only new or unique because it's a big box store and not a small shop?

you may not like it but this is what peak mixed-use looks like
Kinda reminds me of the Costco I saw in korea.
Is it possible that the apartments above Costco would actually be too expensive for most Costco employees to afford rent?
