That works great for apartments zoned as commercial or mixed-use. I don't think that is common.

As Uber and AirBnB have demonstrated, caring about laws is so last millennium. As long as you get big enough, fast enough, the cities will probably bend and change things to accommodate you.

But this company would disrupt! Things like zoning laws aren’t cool, so we’ll move fast and break them!
