Do empty malls hold the solution to California’s housing crisis?
空置的购物中心能解决加州的住房危机吗？

背景：疫情加速了人们的消费习惯转变，也让越来越多的购物中心和大型商场无人问津，如果处理这些空置的商业地产无疑是加州必须面对的一个典型的21世纪难题。可能的答案是将这些商业地产转为民用。过去十年来，加州每年新建的住房单元远少于实际需求。但通常地方的区划法不允许民用建筑商用，也禁止商业楼宇民用。改变区划是许多开发商都懒得尝试的麻烦事。而当地政府也没什么动力去改变地产的用途，毕竟找新的商户入驻能带来更多的税收收入。所以，立法者们正在推动新的解决方案——在不推翻区划法的基础上，在商业地产上建造居民住宅。
