- nostromo 3y agoSalt Lake City isn't representative of the US -- and in particular places in the US with a housing shortage.

- paulddraper 3y agoUtah has a significant housing shortage, in no small part driven by its status as the fastest growing state over the past decade (even more than Texas and Idaho).
- egh 3y agoBy your own count "most" apartments are 1 bedrooom or less.
- ctoth 3y agoUh, your numbers agree perfectly with the article. Notice they cluster around 2, with 6.8 (not noice)% of apartments being 3 or more bedrooms.
- paulddraper 3y agoMy numbers are that nearly half of apartments are multi-bedroom. Which the article depicts as unusual.
- babypuncher 3y agoFrom your own numbers, I'm counting 310 with 1 bed or less, and 273 with 2 or more beds. Now, I'm not a math professor, but I do believe "most" means "more than half", and I also do believe that 310 is a bigger number than 273. I also wouldn't consider a 2-bedroom unit "family sized", since even a couple living without kids probably needs to use a bedroom as an office, study, or something else.
- tzs 3y agoBut he didn't say "most". He said "almost most". Most would be 292 or more, and 273 is arguably almost 292.
