They tend to wear out the unit faster and give more problem. Hence, it is always better to attract those who can afford and better still with only one person staying in the apartment whether it is a MM, 1+1, 2 or even 2+1.
Affordability is a huge issue in SG, a city state with no hinterland. It is always better and preferable to have "A" and "B" and so on...
But limited to realistic and practical constraints. Like high cost of private housing. Like reduction of expat package. Like overwhelming density and transport issues in some nodes. Like decentralisation of some industries. Like how technology reduces required living spaces etc...

Where there is kelong, there is guni.
No kelong no guni.
More kelong = more guni.
