    Light-shafts or relatively inefficient building layouts are necessary once a building hits a certain size, so this would probably not have a big impact on overall living space. Of course such a building would be more expensive to build, but it might be possible to offset if the vertical farm’s profits would benefit the same housing coop.

      Moisture would be an issue with such a set up, and could cause mold and mildew in apartment units
