"I think the trade-off for a smaller unit has to be a higher quality of "public" space."

I agree, BUT

" That can mean more amenities in the building, like a fitness room, lounges, or maybe just a nice courtyard or roof deck."

Then the building is attacked for being for froo-froo yuppies.

" But it also means more amenities in the larger community, like a grocery store within walking distance so you can make lots of short trips instead of a few large trips to buy bulk products that you can't store"

Then its "OMG! The corner stores will ruin the neighborhood" which we've certainly heard a fair amount of.

Dan, I appreciate what you are trying to do, and hope the market provides these units for those for whom they work. I see however that this has already been hijacked for purposes of advancing certain policies.
