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.

No, there is enough empty buildings and houses to completely end involuntary homelessness. The government should incentivize the refurbishment of abandoned homes and buildings.
@9LW3ZGY2wks2W
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
@9LKMVGD3wks3W
i think that certain areas should provide certain high density residential areas but not everywhere because of how expensive certain land is.

Why can't we bring antitrust laws against those mega corporations, foreign entities, and billionaires who have bought up so much of the housing?
And could we work on the regulations and property taxes that make home ownership and home building so hard to do?
Could we break up rental monopolies and encourage private landlords?
I am currently homeless so this matters to me a great deal.
The current rental monopolies in North Dakota are making it impossible for me to get housing in this state.
And the laws favor the monopolies to the point of extreme corruption.
I have been forced out of my rental home 3 different times for peaceful political participation and legal political/religious/civic activities...
But I want to work for a living, and have a home with a yard and a garden.

I would rather not have high density housing everywhere, ruining the natura beauty of the planet that we live on
