Agreed. Apartments are largely viewed as temporary and not for families - thus they’re built cheaply and not big enough (to meet American family expectations). The current 5-over-1 trend is awful in this regard. Yeah, it’s inexpensive to build, but light wood framing done to a tight budget leads to noisy, smelly, awful places to own or live long-term.
