Too many variables. Family size & ages of children & apt size/location.

Water is scarce, so they want to cram more people into the same footprint?

People aren't the water problem. It's the landscaping.

You are 100% correct and if we’d stop electing land developers, we could stop it

i mean, to get a good ROI, don't you have to, you know, SELL the properties

Sure. And cities don’t have to change zoning to allow multi family housing.

sounds like YOU prefer SFH but large amounts of people prefer MFH

$350K. That is what young people are having to pay for an attached townhome
