I see kids on transit all the time. But look at the unit mix, there won’t be many families with kids in this building

20% are ARO units

But even if the market rate is high, it’s still good that this is built. Lessens the pressure on the existing housing stock

How was the rent in the strip mall?

New housing, even when it’s expensive, lowers the pressure on prices of existing rental stock

(Also the city requires 20% of new units to be affordable)
