Should the government incentivize the construction of high density residential buildings?

No

That's too open ended. The community needs to be able to accommodate the high density. Employment, fire, police, healthcare, roads, access.

We need a variety. Not just high density - medium, as well as mixed buildings.

And old buildings being repurposed need to be properly retrofitted. I've experienced loft condo living with no soundproofing between floors and it was miserable, plus it was impossible to heat or cool properly.

Buildings need to be thoughtfully integrated into the existing neighborhoods.

Medium density is needed more than high density. And get rid of old zoning laws to allow for more mixed use plots

Depends on the area, if it's a major city, then add higher density residential building, if it's a minor village, just make houses

Yes, these should also be co-ops where all renters are owners and have a say in evictions, repairs, mangement

We don’t want to create undesirable ghettos for people to live in . High density buildings means smaller housing meaning for family’s lower quality of life so I would recommend this style of building for uni students due to them being 1 person but honestly if you want to be cost effective go ahead but it will en up being ghettos where people will live on cheap rent and bad housing , why not invest in helping these family’s or people find better housing with this money , the à out of aid depending on your situation again prioritizing family’s, old people and the handicapped.

Yes, if it’s purpose is affordable housing for people who cannot afford a single family dwelling, or if space is an issue in high density urban areas.

I would rather old commercial buildings be converted for high density housing. For new constructions, they should be tiny homes. More people should have access to the privacy of their own home without having to share walls with other tenants, or be at the mercy of landlords or whoever is in charge.

Yes, but in the form of a tax write-off for the interest or a percentage of the interest for a period of time (i.e. the first 10 years).

Renovate abandond or unused buildings to create high density residential buildings while leaving more land for single family homes

yes but not at the risk of lowering the value of houses in nice neighbourhoods, they should be built in lower middle class areas where it is still average safe place to live and the kids can go to good safe schools

This is a municipal issue, not a federal issue, therefore should be dealt with in the municipal level only.

Yes, the provincial planning laws should be review create two zones industrial and mixed uses zones. Abolish parking requirements and promote design that incentives walkability and public transportation.

Within reason. If conditions are good, it reduces prices, and it is environmentally friendly and does not hinder with other residential buildings development.

Yes with emphasis on the development of community with the addition of high density residential buildings.

No because the corporations who build them do not offer affordable rents. They maximize their profits while receiving government subsidies

If you're going to subsidize places they all should be subsidized regardless of population. No one has control who where who moves where

Yes, because we need to house the whole population more efficiently. But again, focus on city design and infrastructure first.

Yes, but only in the interest of creating more affordable housing options and reducing the amount of condos.

Make rules and bureaucracy fairer and let the market sort it out.

If it’s through repurposing old buildings/lot then sure

No, townhouses, terraces houses, semi detached, etc but not high density. High density runs into it's own social issues.

would depend on the very definition of high density no one would like the government to go back like the 70's and rebuild the projects.

Yes, but only for companies that are selling the condos and not renting them.

No, there is already too many rental co do building and townhouse complexes as is. This only increases population density and traffic.

Yes but only empty or abandon buildings. Not current buildings that are in good shape and have tenants.

More Single family homes should be built rather than apartment buildings.

More housing availability yes, but higher density in already congested cities no.

Living in such places is not good for people. Increase employment and services in rural areas and build houses that enhance life quality there

I believe a mix is needed. The affordability of urbanization is harmful to densification. We need to slow urban sprawl in some cities where vacancy rates are high on high residency buildings or find a way to convert high density buildings from ownership to rentable housing. Home and condo ownership is beyond reach for many but the cost of living in urban centres is also too high.

Only in places that don't hurt nature or historical locations.

Yes, but only if certain ratios and quotas for floor space and family oriented homes are met.

Yes, and should be prioritised over single, family homes, especially in cities.q

Change existing laws so that the market can supply adequate housing.

Yes, make Single-family detached homes more expensive, since its unsustainable.

Yes, higher density housing/communities can lower the risk of destruction of local ecosystems.

Yes and incentivize Housing Co-op's rather then private housing

Yes, as long as it is affordable housing and not luxury condominiums

Yes, only if they are not luxury condos and are multi-purpose

I think they should if living situations are tuff / if the area is overpopulated, but if the area doesn't actually need it then I don't see the point in there funds going towards that when there are so many other things they could use the money on.

yes but this should only happen in abandoned areas. not in current residential areas. Also a lot of planning should be done to not significantly increase road traffic. High density buildings should be built near public transit.
