In the past, it was said that apartment plots were never broadly representative of the city and this statement could not be more true considering the fact that apartment plots were chosen in a highly selective manner which often included prejudice towards race, class, ethnicity etc.
However, I think this situation is being changed and contemporary societies are different from what they used to be. People became widely educated and are more open-minded. As a result, apartment plots are becoming increasingly representative. Especially when we are positioned as insiders, we are allowed to experience something quite unique which is the stories of others, like reading the biography of others, almost as if we are living more than one life at the same time.
