A good layout can often make up for a small area and vice versa.

For example, my living room is over 400 sq.ft. and it's ridiculously overkill. There's enough space for an enclosed den in there easily.

Yeah, our last apartment had an amazing layout. Absolutely no wasted space. The only problem was no windows in the second bedroom or den (which was where our kid slept). He was really happy when we moved and he got his own window.

Glad to see developers adjusting and including more livable family-friendly units. Hopefully we see more of this in future proposals across the city.

I'll believe it when I see it. Too many times have developers said they are building "family friendly units" just for them to be laughable for a couple with a new born. I understand why developers stick with the mainly one bed plus den concepts with a couple of two bedrooms sprinkled in the mix as their return on investments are the highest this kinda senecio, but in order to create thriving "8-80 cities" we mustn't leave families and children outside of the urban core equation. Kids have a right to the city just as much as I do.

But for real the government needs to strengthen their incentives to develop multi (real) bedroom units, or make it more challenging to build primarily one bed buildings.

It's easy to live in an apartment with a newborn. In fact, it's ideal, as you can always see them from wherever you are and whatever you're doing. They don't need much space, other than a place to park a stroller (which is lacking in a lot of apartments, and especially stacked townhouses).

But once your kid gets to about 4-5 years old, the types of apartments you can largely find close to downtown do not really accommodate kids easily

I'm glad the tenure is being switched here it makes this much easier to get shovel-ready, especially with monetary support from different levels of governance.
