L A needs affordable housing so badly that we gotta buy it
00:03
in bulk. Where is this call?
00:06
So look, our favorite bulk seller,
00:08
Costco is actually getting into the housing game in L A.
00:11
What? They broke ground on a new location in South L
00:15
A but this one is going to have a little something extra
00:18
800 apartments, right on top of it.
00:22
That's like an unlimited pantry brother.
00:25
Like you don't need to go on a whole grocery shopping trip
00:28
You just walk down and get whatever you need.
00:30
I got to go downstairs and get some,
00:32
I don't know, bread,
00:33
some soda. You're good.
00:34
Oh, stop playing.
00:37
Are you serious? They about to have the membership counter as
00:41
a reception desk? Really?
00:42
You just got to stand here like yeah,
00:45
that'd be cool. I mean a little exclusive.
00:49
But anyways look, we don't have a ton of details yet
00:51
but we do know that the new location will be in
00:54
the Baldwin Hills neighborhood.
00:55
Dang, I can I have the black card.
00:59
The executive. Is it the executive?
01:03
But imagine they have a new color now for the people that
01:07
that's above the black brother.
01:09
So we're not like now we're going to be looked down upon
01:13
literally because they're above the,
01:16
well, hopefully they have a gym because I know my big
01:19
back ass would be terrorizing them sample tables every day and I'd
01:23
be dressing up in different outfits just so that they don't recognize
01:25
me. Yes,
01:27
sample tables hate to see me coming.
01:29
You know, I've heard they don't really like,
01:31
they can't really show you away so they can,
01:33
that's free food. I want a little lunch break.
01:37
Go downstairs but sometimes they get me because it's good and I'm
01:40
like, oh where do I get this?
01:43
Yeah, anyways, but like dude imagine having those like the
01:48
iconic Costco hot dog an elevator right away.
01:52
Well, you know what,
01:52
I'll take the stairs.
01:53
I don't feel as guilty but I don't know if my big
01:56
bet can handle that convenience sister.
01:58
I need it. You scared me,
02:02
dude, you got to warn me about these things.
02:04
No, but it's,
02:05
yeah, I especially the the what is it called?
02:09
The bake the chicken,
02:10
the chicken bake with Tabasco in it.
02:13
You know what? They fell off.
02:14
They a they did actually change the right so could bring back
02:17
the OG but but why,
02:19
why are they building like this?
02:21
Like is this called like mixed residential?
02:24
Like can I pick up shifts if I need extra cash or
02:28
work off a new TV?
02:29
Like I have so many questions.
02:31
Well, the developers are actually taking advantage of California's new affordable
02:34
housing laws that speed up development if the builders offer 20% of
02:39
the units to low income families.
02:41
Yeah, the Costco project will have approximately 100 and 84 units
02:44
specifically just for that.
02:46
Ok, Costco, I see what you're doing.
02:49
Look at you. No.
02:51
Yeah, the project broke ground last week and is expected to
02:54
bring in 400 new jobs and it will take 2.5 years to
02:57
complete. So, I mean,
02:59
if you're shopping around for apartments,
03:01
you know, maybe get something a little low key and then
03:03
save up for this bad boy.
03:04
I don't know. Imagine.
03:06
Like to say you live at the Costco Apartments.
03:08
I wonder if they're going to be called the Costco apartments or
03:10
they're gonna be called the Kirkland signature apartments.
03:13
What do I do wonder like?
03:16
Is it going to be the Kirkland,
03:17
the Kirkland apartments, the Kirkland apartments,
03:20
Kirkland. What is it like residency?
03:24
Kirkland estates estates going?
03:27
It's good. Yeah.
03:28
Well, guys, would you live in the Costco Apartments?
03:31
