You might be able to make 3, one bedroom units out of two, two bedroom
ones, but it would depend on how the walls were made of.

With the current housing shortage, making an existing flat smaller is a
total nonsense, unless the object it to provide more needed units.

And single people or even couples ain't the priority. It's those with
kids.

Of course it would be great to provide affordable housing for at least
some single people. Like perhaps nurses and young police, teachers, etc.
As once was done.

Doubt that will happen in my lifetime.


Wrong again Dave, the biggest growth is in single person households.

Dave likes to be consistent.
