The city I lived in, in Italy has like twice as many people as the place I live in the US, in a slightly smaller footprint.
This is accomplished by some clever technology the Italians use: they are able to stack dwelling units on top of one another.
In many ways, it was a more pleasant place to live, since I could walk or bike to so many places.
- jimbob45 5y agoI consider high-density housing to be a separate conversation. I entirely agree that high-density housing should be encouraged and would largely solve this issue (assuming apartments can't rent out as AirBNBs like they do so frequently now). However, I don't want "we need more supply" to justify building more housing when we have enough developed land as-is to build high-density housing with ease.
