Ideally SE would have dynamic wards that would flex with demand, generating the next when the previous filled completely. However, their infrastructure just isn't designed for it and they don't seem to really be inclined/able/allowed to change that. So Balmung is going to have to hope that the apartment changes that they're looking into are actually worthwhile. Which, ironically, is a bit like real life when you think about it. How many people in big cities live in apartments versus single family dwellings? Gotta move to the burbs if you want your own space.
