Any housing that can be built is good housing for places that have a severe supply-side constraint of housing.

The only way to bring house prices down is to build build build.

I'd actually be quite trustful of a Costco apartment.

I would very, very gladly live in a Costco apartment complex above a Costco store. Being able to buy Costco rotisserie chicken, ribs, and pizza anytime? Sign me up!

Pentagon city metro is right next to a Costco. Close enough?

What about Costco law school?

There is a Trader Joes with a apartment complex above it in Milpitas, CA (in the SF bay area). I've seen that in my city too but it needs to become more common.

The Trader Joe's they just opened in Hayes Valley in SF was put in under existing residential units: https://locations.traderjoes.com/ca/san-francisco/226/

I used to live in an apartment complex with trader Joe in the westwood area of LA near UCLA. Oddly enough, I would walk over to the whole food’s or Ralph’s instead to grocery shop (but everything was walkable, even the target across the street).

I would end up eating nothing but Costco hot dogs. When are they doing this in the south SFBA? Sign me up.

I wonder what the return policy will be like.

probably pretty good, but I wouldn't attempt it on saturday afternoon.

I wonder if they plan to also build all the infrastructure required to support all these new people living in these new housing. Like expanded electric service, water & sewer, trash pickup, transportation, schools, another fire station. Or are taxpayers going to have to pick up that bill? Build build build is great, we need more housing, but you can't do it without also planning for all the supporting infrastructure.

[WrongAssumption]

I’m unclear what your concern is. How is this different than any other home builder? Also unclear what you mean by taxpayers being on the hook. More people in housing expands the tax payer base. The new homeowners will literally be paying for these things when they pay their property tax.
