High density housing refers to housing developments with a higher population density than average. For example, high rise apartments are considered high density, especially in comparison to single-family homes or condominiums. High density real estate can also be developed from empty or abandoned buildings. For instance, old warehouses can be renovated and turned into luxury lofts. Further, commercial buildings that are no longer in use can be refitted into high-rise apartments. Opponents argue that more housing will lower the value of their home (or rental units) and change the “character” of neighborhoods. Proponents argue that the buildings are more environmentally friendly than single family homes will lower housing costs for people who cannot afford large homes.

Yes, but in conjunction w/other initiatives to ensure this housing is adjacent to good public schools, health clinics, parks, community centers, addiction centers & affordable grocery & other stores/services required to live a balanced, healthy life.
@9LW3ZGY3 days3D
bit more nuanced than just yes or no - if constructing high density residential buildings their should be appropriate spaces such as balconies/communal gardens, this kind of space is often neglected when planning the building of such places
@9LKMVGD2wks2W
i think that certain areas should provide certain high density residential areas but not everywhere because of how expensive certain land is.
@9LY9QSQ1hr1H
Yes, but they also have to have a scientifically proven amount of nature incorporated in the design of the buildings. And they should prioritize the collaboration of any small business the tenants have to build brick and mortar shops.
@9LY74S83hrs3H
Only if costs go down so this will actually solve problems. Also, emphasis on "Incentivize" not "fund"
@9LY2YWW 4hrs4H
Yes in areas that are seeing an increase in residents and homelessness and maybe even have programs that can get homeless people off their feet and a temporary home. Some places do not always need to be build up.
