Literally all that’s needed are regulations that universally make apartments more livable; actual building standards with real criminal and financial consequences for shotty builds… strong sound proofing, energy efficiency and climate control… minimum storage space requirements, restrictions on strata control, etc.

Indeed, this would require quality builds to change people’s minds. Which would cut into the developer’s profits
I live in a pretty decent one myself though. I love it
