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, providing that it can provide low cost housing
@9LKM7XF1yr1Y
Yes - high density housing high rises) should be limited in size and geographic placement
@B5G8RW62mos2MO
Yes, but to a degree, with cities and large towns taking more high-density residential buildings than the rest of the country.
@B57532C2mos2MO
No, they should construct houses with gardens for different sized families and with room sizes adequate to allow dining space etc so that families can have meal times around a table. New homes are often too small to allow a good quality of family life.
@9ZJF87Q8mos8MO
Yes and no, we need houses, but there is ample space outside of the big cities but can be handled well in cities if done right with planning
@9ZJDRMG8mos8MO
Yes in certain locations but emphasis should also be given to refurbishment and reallocation of vacant properties, esp in town centres.
@9ZH47J48mos8MO
Yes, higher density housing in high rise form, but limit size in accord to existing urban environment.
@B2JQG5H6mos6MO
The government should start a state construction company and build high density residential buildings itself
