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, but in conjunction w/other initiatives to ensure this housing is adjacent to good public schools, health clinics, parks, community centers, addiction centers & affordable grocery & other stores/services required to live a balanced, healthy life.
@9M7T7R7 2wks2W
No, there is enough empty buildings and houses to completely end involuntary homelessness. The government should incentivize the refurbishment of abandoned homes and buildings.
@9LW3ZGY3wks3W
bit more nuanced than just yes or no - if constructing high density residential buildings their should be appropriate spaces such as balconies/communal gardens, this kind of space is often neglected when planning the building of such places
@9LKMVGD1mo1MO
i think that certain areas should provide certain high density residential areas but not everywhere because of how expensive certain land is.
@9MKLB7N2 days2D
Yes, but if we're talking converting abandoned buildings, it shouldn't be a "luxury" style home, but something more affordable.
@6LV5ZML 3 days3D
Only in certain locations and only if the housing is truly affordable and open to not just low income earners, but the working and middle class as well.
