Or maybe the developer could just hire union labor to build the apartment block.

Nah, that's what I'm talking about. Makes things too complicated and expensive. How about this...

If you have the capital, you can build whatever you want as long as you don't physically endanger other people (building meets earthquake and fire codes, etc.)

Why is it "too complicated" to hire union labor? That seems like an easy thing to do, especially since the developer would have ready access to a large labor pool, of which union labor would be one component.
