Luckily we invented the elevator so we don't have to bulldoze forests to build more housing if we don't need to

- orwin 2y agoLimit it to 3 stories, at most 1/3 or 1/4. You can build really good looking midrises that integrate pretty well with the environment (and you do not need elevator for 3 to 4 stories midrises, it keeps the cost low. Also maybe the US should chill out on the staircase requirement too). One parking spot for every apartment max too, to keep the footprint light. I think my residence has one spot per two apartment and it seems enough, its never full, but here people bike more than they drive, so that helps.
