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 other infrastructure such as public transport, roads, parking and healthcare etc need to be able to support this
@B3JNBXP4 days4D
Yes, while maintaining the "middle gap" train of thought for infrastructure. High Density / Middle Density / Low Density housing.
@B3HS3ZY5 days5D
No, we have a lot of land we need to be utilising and spreading out into rather then populating city’s that the roads and infrastructure cannot accommodate.
@B3GQLSG7 days7D
The government should have minimum standards for appartments as to make it more viable for young children and families, like Singapore has done with HDBs
@B3GFKS71wk1W
yes - but have discretion into which areas these houses are being built ie not around heritage or tourist sites.
@B3G9BMS1wk1W
Yes, but introduce a bar of quality that developers must reach. So that new housing is also livable and well made housing that will last for decades
@B3G84H31wk1W
Depends on the nature of quality in how they are constructed and affordibility, but its also key to consider how houses can cater to certain lifestyles
@B3DWY8B1wk1W
yes but in a well thought out and planned manner that takes into consideration the environment and regard for the aesthetics of the towns
