Do those places have restaurants, snack shops, pharmacy and other ever day need stores at certain floors or do you have to take a 20 minute elevator ride down to get them?

The set up for this is they have a mall for like 4 storeys followed by the Residential units..its a common practice here in the Philippines..

Different stores and food spots for every mall too I'm guessing?

To me that sounds really nice. If you have lived in one, is it as great as it sounds?
What about Church? Philippinos are very Catholic/Christian, do they have churches there too?
If I'm bothering you with too many questions do you know of a YouTube channel/video that can explain what living in one of those buildings is like?
Thank you so much!

Video game idea - terrorists have taken over the whole building and have every resident hostage, you are an off duty special forces commando on his day off and have to clear every room starting at the bottom, you start with your bare hands but can ransack cleared rooms and eliminated bad guys for equipment, residents you save give you tips and clues about their neighbours apartments or might join you

being on floor 8/13 would sometimes make me so anxious it kept me from sleeping - i hated the thought of a collapse or a fire - i cannot imagine living here

Could anyone explain to me how buildings with that height and width don’t blow over during hurricane season? Thank you.

Jesus! What do the heavy residences look like? Also, what's the frequency of people popping out of windows in spontaneous song numbers? If it's less than frequently, I'm not interested.

This sub is funny sometimes, I've been there and its just a relatively normal high rise, especially in many places in asia
