There's no chance Kiwis will be offered the lovely tiny apartments seen in the likes of Paris and Rome, a developer says.
Some quite out of touch comments in here, I think. Saying "unlikely they would imitate the stylish apartment blocks that can be seen in the likes of Paris or Rome." when a large chunk of our population currently don't have a hope of ever owning a home is pretty elitist, in my view.
They also mention 50m2 as being considered the minimum for banks to lend to you, I live in a three bedroom house that's 100, a living space for one person can definitely be less than half that.
I really hope we can get more dwellings built that are affordable for a single person, that's something currently missing from our market, I feel.

I would like to buy an unbearably small house.
Let them build housing. Fuck the gatekeepers and the NIMBYs.
