Well with the sewage a LOT of these towns straight up have just septic systems. You can build an apartment with septic, but it requires a huge amount of space which will eat into 1) the profit for developers, 2) the # of units built, 3) useful space, although I wonder if they could build green space over the septic. Not sure if you wanna be walking around over leech fields that big though.

Yeah, I do not know if the large scale septic systems can support the required 15 units/acre. If they can that is one problem solved at the potential cost of creating others.
I have no problems with developers struggling to make a buck on their developments. I do not begrudge them anything, but it falls squarely in the realm of "not my problem" unless the state says otherwise. I do worry that the state might actually say it is our problem, but this is all something for lawyers to figure out. Law is complex, and they are the ones who can find the most likely answers.

They can but the leech fields are massive. They just built some huge apartments along rte 20 that I'm pretty sure have no sewer access. Must be septic.
The developer comment was just about how they'll be less likely to build it
