building up gets you more square feet and is almost certainly going to be the profit maximizing approach delta regulation in an environment like this

Sure.

And that’s where luxury condos and apartments come in.

There is no scenario where building for less than luxury returns makes sense in these areas. Renting a set square footage for 1500 makes no sense when I can rent the same square footage for 3200.

And that’s at the bottom end.

i find the word 'luxury' not very useful in these discussions. they wouldn't be luxury compared to a SFH in the same area, they would be lowering price.
