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 - high density housing high rises) should be limited in size and geographic placement
@B2JQG5H2mos2MO
The government should start a state construction company and build high density residential buildings itself
@9ZWBK5Y4mos4MO
It depends on how high the density will be, a density that is excessively high can lead to a reduced quality of life too, lack of recreational spaces is a big issue
@9ZVDWS64mos4MO
Yes, but only if they focus on building adequate up to date services in these high populated density areas
@9ZV4YWB4mos4MO
No a city planner here 🙄 that’s why we educate our students to see what works best?? Depends on how the works.. instructure all the way! Schools, playgrounds , transportation… clinics.. the list goes on? .
@9ZV359K4mos4MO
If the density won't badly affect the quality of life of the residents, then yes. And make it so that people can buy them, and not just rent them
@9ZMHZWW4mos4MO
Not without proper infrastructure installed beforehand and research into impact on local community- eg village, town
