I absolutely agree with Deputy Ellis. When one scales up the supply of more apartments according to the model system, every apartment will probably be the same standard model. I just do not understand how the cost of apartments has risen so much. Is it like this in other countries? I understand the SCSI wants to prove the model, but in countries such as the Netherlands and Germany it has been standard for decades. Again, the question is why. Is it market driven because there is such a high level of demand?
