Building 1BR+Den apartments is a *simple* shift that makes City marginally better for "families" Instead of an oversized walk-in closet ... you get a space for a remote worker to have an occasional office OR a young couple to put an infant The Baby Maybe

It’s reasonable to believe two things at the same time: 1) This building is ugly 2) This building type is sorely needed and we should reduce all obstacles to its construction [ALSO … #1 could have been vastly improved (by the Developer) without compromising #2]
