If you actually had experience living or working in Manhattan, you’d see that it has the infrastructure to enable density - namely, the country’s most intricate and heavily-used subway and transit system, by a mile. (17x the ridership compared to the next largest, Chicago.) But yeah, let’s build density without discussing how we rebuild cities with transit and how we pay for this multi-decade endeavor that will conservatively cost tens of billions per city. It’s almost like the half-baked “solution” of deregulation doesn’t actually make sense once you analyze it for five minutes, oh and it’s the preferred, and only, policy pushed hard by developers. Funny how that works.
