Agreed, I live in downtown Portland and 3-5 luxury apartments have been built or are nearing completion within a 10 minute walk of my apartment. These all look like they can hold 100+ apartments, but are marketed towards yuppies and retirees.
I grew up in a privately owned middle density (around 100 apartments) building, no parking but close to public transit and affordable for a wide range of income, it's baffling that more of these don't exist.
