how slum lord flats are the solution here

they're a solution for building owners who can't find tenants to lease their office space to. they don't actually care about the peasants who can't find affordable homes

That's kind of the definition of a slum lord, though, isn't it?

instead of "tenants" i should have said "badly run businesses that nevertheless have tons of capital to blow on office space"

Ah. Sorry. I misunderstood 'tenants' in terms of the civiz who would rent the tiny flat, and not as the businesses who would rent the entire floor.
