    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.

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

      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.
