But that above-forecast rate is down 11 percent from January, and the National Association of Home Builders is saying apartment construction will decline even more than single-family starts because of the pandemic-induced downturn.Even at an elevated rate of construction, though, there’s likely to be a substantial shortfall, one that could be addressed, at least in part, by factory built modules that are transported to the construction site, where they are put together, one on top of—or next to—the other.

(these projects are close to a lot of public transportation and large employers).

I love cars - I have 4 of them, and I've rebuilt many - but be honest about what they are, which is transportation and (if you like them) a really expensive hobby. 

The only thing that had stopped me from considering it was the lack of public transportation options up there.

I know of one where an enclosed balcony has become the shared space.

In 1991 they added an enclosed patio behind the 2nd bedroom (190sf) which has since been converted to a master bedroom without permits but done professionally. 

The work from home trend has helped some, but still the traffic is getting worse and we have extremely poor public transportation here. 

I live in central IL so anything within 3 hours of me I’m willing to commute, I have reliable transportation, and family in northern and southern IL.

It's a plus if it's close to public transport which makes it easy to go to NYC every now and then.
