I also have a hard time believing that people actually want an apartment at street level, with people walking by their bedroom or balcony or whatever. Presumably people want a space that’s above the ground floor, or facing the courtyard etc, not with random strangers literally feet from a window looking into your living space.

Whereas that’s EXACTLY what a retail space would want.

Meh, I just don’t get it.
