    Paris is known for small and expensive apartments, some, if not the highest per square meter prices. Why would you want to emulate that?

      That isn’t what they’re saying.

      Families are being forced into expensive low density urban housing or into the suburbs. This is being done by condo developers who make more money per square foot selling smaller apartments to single professionals and who don’t want to build family apartments.

      Regulations on minimum family apartments and minimum affordable units is how you solve that.

        But its essentially saying you want to imitate a situation of a whole family living in a small apartment in Paris’ center due to high rent costs, again, but in Australia now.

        I also live in an apartment with a small family in a large world Metropolis but the reason people pay a lot for the 3 bedroom apartments is not cos of availability but per sqm cost which is more in the cities.
