This seems to be an indication that there's an under-supply of large apartments, and so developers think that they stand to make more money selling some lower number of larger, fabulously expensive units than they do selling some higher number of smaller, less fabulously expensive units. But it seems plausible that loosened restrictions might allow the construction of these under-supplied larger units <i>without reducing the number of smaller units</i>. As the situation stands now, the consolidation of these smaller units is almost certainly raising the price (however marginally) of similar smaller units around the city.Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16508176710042794606noreply@blogger.com
