Prison or Apartment ?

This afternoon, a young woman with an amusing look on her face approached me while I was  hastily walking past her on the Eden crescent.

"Can I help?" I  asked. "Yes," she replied in cute French-accented English. "Is that the prison over there?" she asked, pointing over my shoulder to a certain flats. 

So I looked back, and said with a slightly sad smile as I understood the situation, "No, it's an apartment block." Her response was followed like this as I had expected "Only apartments? It is so grey, I thought it must be the prison."

I believe this  might be a warning message for our property developers?
