If it's unprofitable to build 2br+ apartments, it's not any easier to find 2br+ houses.

For whatever reasons (planning approvals?), 1br houses aren’t built. At least around here. But 1br apartments and condos are the bulk of the market.

That’s not to say that 2br+ apartments are unprofitable to build, just less so.
