I doubt this. Would probably be cheaper, but I doubt the rental market is so inelastic that the new price will break anything.

I wonder if they could be turned into apartments or something else useful.

There are always some discussion about turning them into apartments here on HN. My conclusion from them is that no, they couldn't.

But they could be turned into something else useful. All that space close to each other and at the destination of every transportation structure will find a usage.
