This is a tenuous financial situation. Residents who've already purchased their units want the developer to fix things, but they can't make too much noise about it because that will keep other interested buyers from coming in, decreasing their property values.

“Behavioral sink” is a term invented by ethologist John B. Calhoun to describe a collapse in behavior which can result from overcrowding.
Among the males the behavior disturbances ranged from sexual deviation to cannibalism and from frenetic overactivity to a pathological withdrawal from which individuals would emerge to eat, drink and move about only when other members of the community were asleep. The social organization of the animals showed equal disruption.
