Okay. So you’re onto something with there being money involved in the decision. Right.

And so when owning a building becomes more profitable, what happens to construction? Construction that is already too expensive.

Expensive is costs too much money … right? Anyone? High construction cost, then there’s an increasing in the net present value of an apartment building …

Anybody see where I’m going with this? Yes, you in the back there
