Totally unlivable? I'm sure many of the thousands of Winnipeggers who live in Broadstreet properties might disagree.
Low build quality? What would you suggest? Concrete build, which would raise costs significantly? We want affordable housing, but we also demand that all housing is built to luxury specs...
Nowhere near anything? This example seems to be in Sage Creek, where the apartments are a 5 minute walk to the town centre, which has just about any service or store you'd need on a daily basis. Many of the other apartments like this are also close to amenities, like Waverley West, north Main, Sterling Lyon...
What would be your suggestion for a better way to do density in our city?
