You can’t just make every single part of the city some dense jungle. Infrastructure doesn’t allow for that and it makes for a poor quality of life. Out here in the bay we’re facing that. California has never been dense like east coast cities but this last twenty years, the influx of people requires denser housing and yes, it’s a problem because California doesn’t want to be nyc, furthermore even if we built quickly, infrastructure takes much longer to upgrade to support that new density and you truly do change the layout and culture of an area.
Rents won’t come down dramatically in ny ever, for centuries that has been one of the most in demand cities, pair that with the rate of foreign investment coming from China these days and the high cost of building, get over it, the inner parts of ny will not be for the low to middle income. Europe has had this blueprint forever and it’s not close to reversing, that’s where we are heading. Burbs will now be the hood, inner city will be the wealth.
Exactly. I think that 3-6 story buildings are ideal form of urbanity for residential neighborhoods. Massive apartment buildings on every block would make the city feel dystopian.
