Yes

 @9ZGPWNFLabor agreed…1mo1MO

Suburban sprawl leads to a car centric society. We don’t won’t to turn into America where owning a car is absolutely essential

 @9LWGRNCagreed…8mos8MO

People deserve somewhere to live. Housing has become a vehicle for wealth, but its not ok that this has taken away the basic human right to have a place to live. A poor person doesn't need a mansion, but they deserve some form of housing at a minimum.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...9mos9MO

No

 @9ZLXPGGLaboragreed…1mo1MO

We should be focusing on cheap and affordable housing, giving families an opportunity to live comfortably is the only way to raise healthy children.

 @9ZGPWNFLabor disagreed…1mo1MO

This is the only way to meet the growing population in the cities. No one wants to like 50km from a cbd in woop woop

 @9LWGRNCdisagreed…8mos8MO

If affordable and prevents more people becoming homeless then who cares where the housing is. Id rather have a roof over my head than nothing.

 @9LP9JJQdisagreed…8mos8MO

Everyone deserves the opportunity to live somewhere affordable that is close to public services and employment opportunities.

 @9LPB4H8answered…8mos8MO

Yes but other infrastructure such as public transport, roads, parking and healthcare etc need to be able to support this

 @B24STGSLaboranswered…1wk1W

Yes, but ensure there are provisions to allow for low density residential as well, and that they are not completely bought up by investors who don't use it.

 @B249TMKLaboranswered…1wk1W

Yes, but only in locations where it makes sense such as near public transport infrastructure, city centers, etc.

 @9ZYNCH3Greenanswered…3wks3W

Only if building corruption is ended. Until then high density residential buildings are a liability costing people their lively hoods

 @9ZM933Ganswered…1mo1MO

Do you want to look like China? High density housing is terrible for the mental health of people who are already struggling. High density building of residential or corporate should be minimised EVERYWHERE! in australia

 @9YLH5TZGreen answered…2mos2MO

Yes, as long as building legislation includes provision for a minimum amount of greenspace around the residential properties

 @9YL3RSCLiberalanswered…2mos2MO

A clear assessment of the troubles with housing combined with sustainable solutions is importsntnin consideration of policy.

 @9Y3YFYZGreenanswered…2mos2MO

Construction should be well planned and appropriate land given up for development by the federal government. The population should be kept stable to stop required development.

 @9X9TVMBanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, and introduce legislation ensuring individuals and businesses cannot purchase it all just to rent out to others.

 @9WCWRP7Liberalanswered…2mos2MO

As much as it is important to add residency, I don't agree with the replacement of certain areas to do so (eg. Preston Market, Food Truck Parks)

 @9VZ8VMFCoalitionanswered…2mos2MO

Yes but prioritise high speed public transport to allow for more freestanding houses. Build further away from the city and also allow for areas such as Parramatta and badgeries creek to become satellite cbds to spread out economic activity

 @9VYFGNVanswered…2mos2MO

Goverment should run there own projects to build these and own the properties over having land developers profit off the issue or cut corners of which the QBCC do nothing about.

 @9VRG2B5answered…2mos2MO

Within reason; Don't build a bunch of buildings in rural areas and in bushland, just empty vacancies or dead land around the city, no need to expand too much

 @9VMVJS8answered…3mos3MO

there should be still spots of nature and space for backyards and stuff but still enough housing to stop the crisis

 @9TFBVLWanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, as long as they control the ability for landlords to monopolise housing and minimise rent hiking

 @9TCBLLJanswered…3mos3MO

Hard to say because these ecosystems harvest a high possibility of drugs, violence and mental health sufferers

 @9SRGGPKanswered…4mos4MO

depending on the population, if there is a high population then yes, if there is a lower population no

 @9SQ56QGanswered…4mos4MO

high density residential buildings, although i am unsure how 'dense' it really is, can be tricky as in personal experience, it forces many families into one small apartment

 @9SNSQ3Hanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, to better manage population and provide a compact home for single residents instead of unnecessarily large homes, covering more land and leaving less space for greenery.

 @9S7L6LYanswered…4mos4MO

This is a complex issue - studies on high density living have not always shown better social outcomes and Australia does not have significant housing challenges that require high density living. I think this question also indirectly applies ot Australia's immigration policies so cannot be answered in isolaiton

 @9S25CV3answered…5mos5MO

Remove all criminals and drug abusers from public housings and make it for the genuinely disadvantaged

 @9RKKLLGLaboranswered…5mos5MO

only a little bit because if we build too many than there will be no land left and the animals will lose there house

 @9QRSQ88answered…6mos6MO

It depends, if this is to sustain the current population OR if it's for purchase by rich migrants to use as investment profits

 @9QPZWDZanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, as long as they also incentivise the inclusion of low cost and social housing in these buildings.

 @9PR8T27answered…6mos6MO

Incentivise more multipurpose high density developments closer to the City, E.g. downstairs are shops and restaurants while upstairs are apartment units.

 @9NZZXQ3answered…6mos6MO

Residential buildings should be built for people who cannot afford housing or larger homes, but should not be encouraged to the point that they take over suburban neighbourhoods etc.

 @9NBHMSJLiberalanswered…7mos7MO

 @9N878GWanswered…7mos7MO

 @9MJK2VJLiberalanswered…7mos7MO

It depends on what the community and the owner of the building wants to do with it

 @9MB47WJanswered…8mos8MO

It can be an available option for many people but high density residential buildings have it's cons

 @9VJ4HPGanswered…3mos3MO

Yes but the high density residential buildings should provide enough space that you could live comfetablely in the building

 @9VF9ZV2answered…3mos3MO

Yes, however, the development of infrastructure to support said construction must be facilitated. Additionally, resources (money, time, etc.) should not be wasted in this endeavor and just practices must be adhered to.

 @9V9XPDTLaboranswered…3mos3MO

Yes, whilst simultaneously optimizing a healthy residential/entertainment/nature ratio and preventing gentrification.

 @9V4CDGXanswered…3mos3MO

Government should re focus on building Housing trust houses for the millions that will not be able to afford rent in the coming decade

 @9TWWZFCSocialist Allianceanswered…3mos3MO

Australia is an extremely large country with minimal population, surveying of central Australia should be a priority to make it sustainable and liveable

 @9TRVMM6answered…3mos3MO

I think having some of these buildings cant hurt, but I am against the idea of removing traditional houses. Just build a few of these high density buildings, but keep traditional houses as well

 @9TRR3L2answered…3mos3MO

High density residential buildings are an crucial part of the housing crisis solution, but the specific intention of the building determines the effectiveness as a solution. Social housing will create more of an issue, where retirement villages or apartment units would help alleviate some of the issue.

 @9M4QCVCanswered…8mos8MO

Yes & No we need homes and development of regional area with smart infrastructure should be a priority. High density living is also needed but should not be a priority. This paired with more employers allowing work from home giving more incentive to live in those areas.
The government needs to focus on lowering building costs.

 @9M3ZMN6 answered…8mos8MO

No, but incentivize the construction of single family home neighborhoods over high rise apartment blocks.

 @9M2VWZ8answered…8mos8MO

I Believe that the Government shouldn't make Residential areas To Busy, and instead we should look into expanding into suburbs or looking into placing more High density residential buildings in other places and expand cities.

 @9LG7967answered…9mos9MO

Depending on the area and population density. However if you can retrofit old warehouses into being an apartment block that’s fine, but not every area needs high rise buildings.
