Why small buildings get told no

The small-building problem is capacity, not effort.

Firms with $1,500 to $2,000 monthly minimums can turn away lower-unit buildings even when the council is ready to pay. The match starts by screening for firms that take smaller portfolios and limited-service arrangements.
