According to the video, the places aren't being built to be attractive to live in but to be cheap upfront investments for landlords (so not just small but crappy layouts and quality overall), and the majority of said landlords are "middle class" (their words) couples rather than large companies.
For hands-off investors, maybe. Directly responsible parties should see jail time though.
There's a Brit Marling movie where exactly that kind of thing happens to some corporate execs. (I think it was a chemical company instead of mining though.)

I misread that bit by the QR code as "scam here." Somehow I think that's equally accurate.
This post specifically says you can't (without the bypass many won't understand how to do).

We all like to joke about cats leeching but they're definitely not Capitalist. They're hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn't exist. To them, when there's plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there's no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.
If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they'll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.
They'll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.
