    I counted 37 floors. If there are 37 apartments per floor since the building looks square-ish (those would be some small apartments) and there are 2 rows (one on each side of the building), that is less than 3k apartments. If each had a family of four, that is less then 12k.

      Why are you assuming 37 apartments per floor? That answer is definitely no sufficient.

      Why are you assuming 4 per apartment?

      Lots of assumptions here. Even being off by a bit changes your estimate by thousands.

      This is China, their apartments are casket size. They also do time sharing where one person sleeps while the other is at work and then they swap.

        This isn’t true for anything built outside the absolute inner cities, which this clearly isn’t,

        They aren’t massive, but they’re plenty reasonably sized and aren’t “casket-sized”

        It doesn’t look to me like the kind of a building that would have this, but sure, maybe you could barely reach 20k is you squeeze people in like sardines.
