No, you are talking about apartments. We are talking about units of housing built on property that various interested parties want. It could be used for apartments, but it could also be used by wealthy people to build single family homes or to build completely unaffordable condos. That's kind of the whole point here - the market demand is increasingly opposed to new affordable construction because so many people want to build low-density housing that they can make money on instead of higher-density housing that they can't. That then gets reflected in the onerous processes and paperwork that the author is talking about.
