I’ve seen pics. ‘Apartments’ are tiny, cookie-cutter and grim.

In areas where I have worked for clients on both sides of real estate development projects, I can tell you that “tiny apartments” are a natural consequence of one particular issue: taxpayer funded schools.

To put it bluntly … Developers and municipal leaders are hell-bent on having dense residential development with tiny apartments because they are looking to attract single people and couples with no children. The political/financial landscape in these areas is set up in such a way that everyone has a financial incentive to approve new development that generates a huge tax revenue stream while adding no students to the public school system.
