Firstly Jimmy, I’m horrified at the thought that their could end up being a block of units with 200 dogs …
Selective reading? I actually said “…larger blocks where a majority totalling 200 owners who want to allow pets (but not necessarily own them) …”
Here’s the thing, AJP, there are large blocks that allow pets and none that I know of that have 200 dogs in them.
Statistically, I think about one-third of all Australian families have pets. The numbers are a lot lower among apartment residents, either because they are not allowed or they don’t want them.
Also, pets covers cats too, so it would have to be a huge block of well over 1000 units to even get close to there being 200 dogs. So big, I reckon, you wouldn’t even notice.
I live in a pet-friendly building of 130 units which has, I’d say about 20 dogs (tops) in residence. It’s rarely a problem but when it becomes one , it’s dealt with. The problem isn’t pets, it’s people.
