You load 16 carts and what do you get?

Another day older and a deeper in debt

St. Peter don't you call me 'cuz I can't go

I owe my soul to my local CostCo

Lmao just do communism wtf is this

I can't believe that Costco has fallen in the hands of the woke communist cabal and are now trying to sneakily introduce 15 minutes cities. This is a threat to all carbrained treatlers all across America

having a Costco cafeteria just downstairs is a death sentence for my arteries

Based. 1.50 hotdogs every morning for breakfast lunch and djnner.

(I die of massive organ failure 2 weeks in)

You've heard of "Work from Home" — now introducing "Live at Work"

Putting apartments on top of big box stores seems like a perfectly fine thing to do wherever the stores are in urban or more populated areas. The only real problem here beyond the usual landlord-parasitism is if these start being handed out to Costco employees tied to their employment status (and even then if you're working retail your living situation is probably fucked when you lose your job anyway, so I'm not sure it even exasperates that problem all that much in hellworld).

I'd rather have this than the giant single-story warehouses. I'm a big fan of mixed-use.

I hate that I'm saying this, but it might actually be useful to have companies do this and have housing as part of a compensation package to exert some downward pressure on rent.

Realistically I know it will be terrible but I can see how it could be beneficial in our current framework/situation

"We're Costco tenants!"

I have very mixed feelings about this, and I'm seeing that Costco is actually just renting warehouse space from some apartment company that built apartments with a warehouse underneath, and not building and operating the apartments themselves like I thought it would

Also this one in particular demolished a community hospital and replaced it, apparently

Cool cool cool This gonna be baaaad

Am I missing something about whatever thrive is? I mean obviously having to rent your living space is bad but given that, renting from Costco seems no worse than renting from any other private landlord or company and the land use seems a lot better

woohoo, I get to live above a Costco 10 miles from the city, away from anything actually interesting

Hear me out though, I would trust costco as a landlord.

i dunno about anywhere else in the country but here in the bay area you can't find parking in a costco parking lot any time other than when they first open or are about 2 minutes from closing.. good luck spending an hour trying to park after getting home from work

And put a metro line below next

Grocery stores with apartments above them are omnipresent in Norway, so this doesn't really stand out to me as a bad thing, if anything it's a better use of space. Is there something I'm missing?

Uhh capitalism breeds innovation?

This is the stage beyond company towns: company arcologies. You will live, work, and die all in one convenient place just so long as you aren't fired into the ash wastes for being 13 seconds late to your 16 hour shift

New type of Costco Guys incoming

they're gonna bring back feudal society but with the masses bound to corporate entities, arent they?

the fascism of the 21st century is being owned by a corporate lord and living on your work site isnt it?
