‘Soul-crushing’: converted Bay Area office apartment fail goes viral

Turning offices to residences is touted as a housing fix for a work-from-home era, but a $520,000 listing takes the brief too literally

More people are working from home these days, but a video of a California office-to-residential conversion that recently went viral on TikTok would blur the line between office and home life completely.

The TikTok profile zillowtastrophes posted the video which features a one-bedroom, one-bath recently converted" property in San Rafael, California, just 18 miles (30km) north of San Francisco, priced at $520,000, a steal for the area.
