The only way I would consider it is if it were like actual luxury condominiums in some building that working class people could never afford, but still probably no.

I have been thinking for a while about if it would be possible to leverage the cash from such a scenario into buying and leasing out more affordable condos in a "rent-to-own" scheme for working class people, but I'm not sure if it would work. Obviously that is a very controversial topic in and of itself.
