Effectively, Ms Myler is saying building low rise apartments blocks on greenfield sites will work out more cheaply. There are restraints in terms of the time developers have to get everything done before they get people in and recover their costs. It would be cheaper to build three or four-storey buildings on greenfield sites. Much of the problem arises in the city, for example, where builders have to squeeze into spots. That is what Ms Myler is saying.
