I remember a few years back I kept saying that turning office buildings into residential was a fantastic idea
I feel like grateful responded with a bunch of articles why that wasn’t a smart or feasible idea

Welp look who is ahead of the curve on this one

Do you go to sleep looking out the window and down??

location, location, location
they are often in high traffic area of a town, an only very old churchs do that
most that were built after 1900 don't (I'm basing that on zero knowledge, just anecdotal observations)
Just don't build my house over the Cemetry…and if you do, move the caskets first please

also Cemetaries are great neighbors, they cut their lawn, don't have late parties and provide lots of greenspace/trees for animals to live
Just wish they didn't spread so many chemicals to keep the lawn green

plus I think golf courses are very indulgent use of land by wealthy people…I'd rather more forest/parkland and less chemicals
There’s been a few church to condo conversions in my neighborhood (no cemeteries with these particular properties) and they sell like hotcakes. Really cool interior architecture.

Columbus probably Spanish and Jewish, study says

Have fun losing your whole life / job / family based on one fucked up action that you made. I hope you see jail time.
