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.

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

A clear assessment of the troubles with housing combined with sustainable solutions is importsntnin consideration of policy.
@9Y3YFYZ3mos3MO
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.

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