>>1899167I don't really understand what you're getting at. Why wouldn't building apartments work? Furthermore, I'd say rowhouses are a really good example of increasing density, and saying "close together single family homes" is just saying "single family homes but denser."
I'm not saying that all buildings that aren't below 10 stories should be banned or anything like that, I just think that increasing the supply of housing that is close to stuff that people want to be close to is a good idea, both in the form of increasing density where it's warranted as well as mixed use zoning.
