    I want every big box store and strip mall in America to be obligated to build enough housing on top and above as it would take to staff the store and their families at a minimum.

      Im not living on site and working at the company store…

      The number of managers that would come upstairs to knock on your door to get you to cover a shift; it angers me just imagining it.

        Oh no doubt. The actual staff wouldn’t have to live there. They’d just have to have that much housing built up over the stores.

        But also thinking strip malls that are often filled with small stores already owned and operated by a family. They’d only need one or two units overhead, thus being close to as described in the original post.

        Its a neat idea. A lot of their workers are kids or youngings living with folks anyway. Gives a option for workers with fewer options. Depending how its played gives people not working there affordable options maybe?
