For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I’ve heard that leaving one wall up like this classifies a construction project as a renovation. I’m guessing this was done because it was cheaper or it’s in a historic district? Idk

I've heard the same. If a property is 'renovated', it retains the same value, tax wise, no matter how much larger the renovated building is.

Not sure how this plays out with a formerly tax exempt property like a church once it get converted into a non-tax exempt property such as a residential apartment building.
