Stop exaggerating in an attempt to push emotional buttons. It is not punishment. No one is being assessed a penalty for any perceived wrong-doing they have engaged in.

The most it would be is poor content design, and that would be a subject for debate.

Depending on where you live, they can have different names depending on whether the individual units in the building have separate owners (condominium where I live) or if the entire building is owned by the same person/company renting them to various individuals/families (apartment). If you say apartment in this part of the world, people who grew up here are going to automatically assume the latter.

The name used doesn't really make a different for this discussion, though. The OP was making a suggestion they felt would increase demand for apartments. Responses have shown why it would have the opposite effect.
