Comment on Australia has a $127,000 housing affordability question
ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 days agoMore 4-5 story blocks with commercial on the ground floor and real family sized flats, with storage.
Apartments here tend to all be built like they’re ready for AirBNB - no storage, lots of wasted space for pretty bathrooms and foyers.

You’re right. Lots of apartments being built here confound me. Are we building communities, or investments? It looks like the latter to me.
There are examples of good denser living developments, one would be the Claise Brook Cove area of East Perth, very wealthy area though. I cant think of an apartment example though, off the top of my head. But theres surely a couple examples in one of the cities about the place.
