I don&#x27;t think that building high, dense housing is the important part. I think what you need are walkable neighborhoods where all the basic necessities are met in a small area. If you have to drive twenty minutes to get to a supermarket, a school, a restaurant or a bank, there is something wrong with the neighborhood. High density makes it easier to solve that problem, because it makes local businesses more profitable, but it is not strictly necessary. I&#x27;m pretty sure that people prefer a small house with a garden to a high-rise if the neighborhoods provide similar infrastructure.
