A reader's alternative reason for all the new, smaller Boston apartments: "What most people don't realize is the only people that can afford to rent or buy new construction are professionals or couples with a pretty sizable income. And having more bedrooms can easily backfire. More bedrooms means you can split the rent amongst more people, which is how you end up having the '4-friends who all like to party living in one apartment' situation." [Curbed Boston]
