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 and no, since most high density buildings are made fast and cheap I feel its not the best option, but there's really no other option
@9VSS7YF2mos2MO
I think that the government should focus on affordable housing units and then begin to steer their focus to expanding residential buildings.
@9P73NNT6mos6MO
No, Catholic Community-Based Housing programs should help build the affordable housing
@9MMVT456mos6MO
When considering environmental benefits as well, yes
@9LX82FM7mos7MO
Government should build new residential buildings and restore old ones but without high density
