Very impressive. This can only happen if zoning / permitting / enviro stuff is not too overdone. To do 100's of affordable units in San Francisco... I can't even imagine what it would take. I've been to poland. One interesting thing I noticed, some units seemed to be built concrete shells - you could actually buy a unit like this and finish it yourself. Was very interesting. The one I saw had a fair bit of interior surface mount conduit exposed which made repair, expansion etc very easy (in the US you are often going into drywall and more.

Not exactly "concrete shells" - you have windows, you have basic plumbing, central heating, electricity, even cable TV and internet cables already installed, and you have all walls painted in white. Everything else you have to do yourself. All newly built apartments in Poland are like this, because that gives the new owner the opportunity to redecorate the apartment to their liking.
