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.

@9LSP9KG7mos7MO
Yes, providing that it can provide low cost housing
@9LKM7XF7mos7MO
Yes - high density housing high rises) should be limited in size and geographic placement
@9ZMHZWW5 days5D
Not without proper infrastructure installed beforehand and research into impact on local community- eg village, town
@9ZLC7Q81wk1W
Only if the high density residential buildings are built where the infrastructure around can handle the increased traffic. Too often you see massive complexes being built along transport routes and roads which have no capacity for such a dramatic increase in usage.
@9ZJGTL51wk1W
Yes, if the necessary increase in schools, access to healthcare etc. are provided. Otherwise it just creates social unrest.
@9ZJF87Q1wk1W
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
@9ZJDRMG1wk1W
Yes in certain locations but emphasis should also be given to refurbishment and reallocation of vacant properties, esp in town centres.
@9ZH47J41wk1W
Yes, higher density housing in high rise form, but limit size in accord to existing urban environment.
