I would hate to pay so much money to not have concrete walls between my neighbours. Unless there is some more effective soundproofing option that can go in further along in construction, but I'm doubting it.
Many/most modern condos don't have concrete walls, either, only concrete floors (and maybe a concrete building envelope). We have drywall ... and, yes, we can definitely hear our neighbours.
Quite unfortunate. It's a major barrier to denser living that should be taken more seriously, but probably won't be because it's not killing people directly like fire and because people are unable to push for better while held hostage to the housing shortage. I wonder how much cost adequate soundproofing would add to a project like this.
