Did you know Costco is building apartments on top of its stores to help tackle the affordable housing crisis? In Los Angeles, a new project will stack hundreds of apartments above a working Costco warehouse, with many units reserved for low and moderate income families. The idea is simple: use valuable city land smarter by combining homes, jobs, and everyday services in one place. Residents will literally live upstairs from bulk groceries, pharmacies, and affordable food, while the city gains much needed housing without expanding outward. It’s one of the first projects of its kind for Costco and it could become a blueprint for future urban developments. Cheap hot dogs downstairs, affordable housing upstairs. Sometimes the smartest solutions are hiding in plain sight. #facebookrepost
