Reply to comment by RandomStranger79 in St. Joseph's Church in Bloomfield could close in the near future by Elouiseotter

Correct me if I’m wrong, but churches were usually designed with beauty, acoustics, and religious function in mind, not sustainability, insulation, and housing operations. I’m sure they could be adapted into housing, but that’s be some pretty expensive grounds to upkeep.

There are several churches in the area that have been turned into housing, restaurants, of concert venues in the city and the area. Don’t know about the cost, but it’s definitely doable. There’s a lot of space to work with

Open floor plans are all the rage these days. And anyway I'd take bad a beautiful designed building with good acoustics over sleeping on the street any day of the week.
