What? All the new American apartments I've seen are luxury and full of nice amenities. Which I think is a problem because none of it is affordable. Even older apartments get renovated and the rent shoots up. I would love to see some practical and efficient apartments.

This is Denver so your region my differ. From what I gather new bare bones apartments only exist in extreme cost of living areas like Sanfran or NYC.

Those "luxury" apartments are just plywood and sheetrock byult as fast and cheap as possible. They look good at first glance but start to come apart after just a couple years.

And the tenants get to hear each other’s every word and movement the entire time.

At least the commie blocks are built with concrete thick enough for the KGB torture someone without it bothering the neighbors.

Oh, and the commie blocks are in walkable neighborhoods

Those “luxury” apartments are glorified shoeboxes with shared patio and pool access.

I agree to some extent. They're grossly overpriced. But I don't see many shoebox options. All the layouts feel oversized and not efficient. Including the few studios. Hell a lot places have 2 parking spots for most units because of zoning laws.

I think American developers don't like to go small unless they're absolutely forced to.
