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.
@9LW3ZGY4 days4D
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
@9LKMVGD2wks2W
i think that certain areas should provide certain high density residential areas but not everywhere because of how expensive certain land is.
@9LYJWLX14hrs14H
No, I think there should be a regulation on the operations of homeless shelters to ensure safety and privacy to the best of the shelter's ability- in order to protect and provide for those without homes that do not feel that a shelter is what is best for their own personal wellbeing

I believe that if the idea preserves farmland or natural habitats of animals, it should be incentivized. However, I also believe that along with High density residential buildings, you have to be able to maintain and uphold the environmental factors such as waste, water supply, and also increase the amount of public services in the area.
@9LNY2FZ2wks2W
This depends completely on the aesthetics of the new apartment buildings. Only If they are made beautiful and have shops underneath
