The apartment building they highlight (in Montgomery County,MD) might be a good start, but it’s also missing larger floor for families. By sqft, two plans are planet big (1100, 1200sqft) but only 2 bedroom (using space for large open plan living space).
I would like to see apartments more suitable for families. 3 bedrooms.

- jeffbee 3y agoLoads of families only want 2 bedrooms. While I tend to agree that it would be nice to have more 3-4 bedroom homes, I think it is a larger acute problem to build more 0-2 bedroom homes first. That relieves the over-housing problem of seniors living alone in large houses. Only < 30% of US households have children present. The majority of households will be satisfied with 2 bedrooms or less.
- ghaff 3y agoA fairly typical pattern over the past few decades in the US, at least for professionals, is that they'd live in or near a city after graduation and then move out to suburbs/exurbs when they got married and started a family. There's been an influx (reversing an outflux) to certain cities over the past couple of decades. Of course, there's no law of nature that will continue.
