Plus, most of them are borderline "luxury" apartments. So how the hell can so many college students afford $500+ in rent?


I'm "in the industry" so to say and this is the aspect that gets me. I know every apartment complex in Baton Rouge and I know roughly what the rent for and roughly what occupancy is. I am absolutely amazed that these out of state developers/owners think that this market can support the continued saturation of quasi luxury apartments. Even substandard market intelligence would tell them occupancy rates of 85% for that market is about standard. There are more in the works too.

I think you are giving them too much credit. I also wonder how much REITs have to do with this (future) mess.
