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.

If you're going to subsidize places they all should be subsidized regardless of population. No one has control who where who moves where
@9ZTXY874wks4W
Yes, because we need to house the whole population more efficiently. But again, focus on city design and infrastructure first.
@9ZKZVNL1mo1MO
Yes, but only in the interest of creating more affordable housing options and reducing the amount of condos.
@9YNBMP42mos2MO
Make rules and bureaucracy fairer and let the market sort it out.
@9YJ9C4Y2mos2MO
If it’s through repurposing old buildings/lot then sure
@9WPFLK62mos2MO
No, townhouses, terraces houses, semi detached, etc but not high density. High density runs into it's own social issues.
@9WK3LGV2mos2MO
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.
@9VJLW4G3mos3MO
Yes, but only for companies that are selling the condos and not renting them.
