Not one person in this thread thinks everyone should be forced to live in high-rise buildings, or in any particular type of building, and no one made any such argument. I certainly wouldn't want to live in such a place. All people want is the freedom to choose the set of tradeoffs that suit them (because everything has a tradeoff), and the freedom to build what people actually want. Forcing people to live in one particular style of low-rise building is the status quo and is what you are proposing be forced upon everyone. There's a big difference between high-rise and mid-rise, and all three can peacefully coexist. If you had watched the video I linked earlier you would have seen many examples of this. I will link it here again for convenience. Population Density 101: A Visual Guide to Suburbs and Skyscrapers by Oh The Urbanity!: https://youtu.be/y3XoUBzfXps https://youtu.be/y3XoUBzfXps
