Not objecting to any property being a rental, have lived in many in my time so no issue there, but 3 on a section and 3 stories high is a bit much im afraid.
The duplex next door was knocked down and replaced by a three storied block of nine units. Transitional housing apparently, took three years to build with many design changes over those months. Now all the units are occupied, and the same design is being cloned in a number of big developments in the neighbourhood.
I guess it is only a matter of time before my pretty little flat is bulldozed and replaced by several of the same kind of housing.

With luck I'll be well dead before that happens to my little bit of paradise.

 Yeah, agreed - tiny dwellings all squeezed onto a small area are not a good idea, imo.
People need a bit of space both inside & outside; you really have to wonder at the mentality of architects who consistently design houses/flats which are too small & don't have enough light - they seem to think that poorer people don't need as much light & space as those who are well off. Rolleyes
Common complaint around here, when maintenance issues are ignored, upgrades delayed endlessly, contractors repeatedly swapped out for cheaper ones, and much touted management initiatives allowed to slide into abeyance.
But there are compensations. The fewer nosy LL types inspecting the place the more guerilla gardening I can get away with!  Big Grin
