Building Housing for Families
I'm sure they'll give you a visa gift card instead

The point is that they want your monthly "payments" to be high

Oh we left those long behind

These are just straight price wars

“Lease now, cruise later” is a hilariously good line

Looks awesome

maybe

And, frankly, would be flat out better connection of the balcony to the living space

It's trivial to do a layout that is generally this layout

Could easily be a 3BR if you just put the 3rd bedroom in the corner windows
November 10, 2025 at 10:33 PM
It's a worst of both worlds. A den ... that doesn't even have the full walls

or a golf siimulator

It's an amenity that actually gets used ... unlike a pool table
November 10, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Unfortunately ... guess the number of 3BR units in the building

ZERO.

But if you can make it work … that’s great. And I hope even more people can

There’s plenty of demand such that I can build (market rate) rowhomes and you can build single stair 3BRs stacked flats.

I’m pretty skeptical at the effectiveness of single stair to deliver family RENTAL units … at least as the laws are proposed today.

I support the de-regulation, but I’ve looked at a lot of projects as single stair, and it hasn’t made sense due to cost

Rowhomes make a lot more sense to me.

I’m actually looking at a project in Albuquerque right now. So I don’t think that’s universally correct.

I think the most persuasive framing towards conservatives, and even those who are certain that single family homes are better is this:

Young people are increasingly living in larger apartment buildings

For those who care about families and people having babies … since young people ARE living in those units, the key is to make it as easy as possible for younger couples to have their first child
