I totally agree. The OP, Kahuna, is not complaining at all. Kahuna is simply submitting an educated theory to be considered as to why the sudden seemingly change in the developers business model, with a focus on high density rental apartment complexes.

I would highly recommend everyone read the book Freakonomics (a photo of the book is attached). The book explains how peoples behavior can be easily explained by taking a close look at their incentives or motivations. Kahuna's theory that the developer might be setting up their enterprise for an eventual exist strategy (their possible motive), which would explain the recently observed events.

Thanks again Kahuna for the very thought provoking post/thread.
