Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
Empty offices have constraints on light and layout, and whether they are usable as housing must be verified. Divide them widely and fewer households can move in; divide them small and residents depend more on shared space and management. Build a few roomy homes, build more small ones, or give up on this housing supply and use the space for other shared purposes?
