Should the government incentivize the construction of high density residential buildings?

bit more nuanced than just yes or no - if constructing high density residential buildings their should be appropriate spaces such as balconies/communal gardens, this kind of space is often neglected when planning the building of such places

I think the government should incentivize people to move out to more rural areas to spread the population out. Which, would provide more funding and education opportunities for people in that area.

Yes, and the government should be able to use the concept of eminent domain if met with remarkable resistance.

Yes, but make sure that they are well built and environmentally friendly in order to reduce their environmental impact. This decreases the population that is homeless.

Yes, only if the proposed housing is affordable for the residents who currently live in the area at the time the project is approved

Yes, if public transportation/roads are expanded to handle the increased amount of people living in the area prior to residents moving in.

yes to a certain extent. its ok to add some new housing to high density areas but adding to much will bring in more people and then it will start getting over crowded.

I believe that if a building is no longer in use for that purpose why not turn it in to an apartment but if it is still in use and doing its purpose to let it keep doing what it’s doing

Yes, but it should depend on the area. Highly populated cities would benefit from something like this. But, it is also important to leave space for parks and other public spaces. They should also be constructed at least considerably close to schools, hospitals, etc,

Only in certain areas. In highly populated cities, this is more effective, such as New York City, but in places like Texas, it's not needed because of the number of land people have and how expensive it is to build and stay in an apartment, whereas in Texas, housing options are cheaper in comparison to New York. It would make more sense to buy a house there.

Yes, but while doing this other things should be considered. Such as healthcare availability, safety, schooling, and the thought of how such buildings will fit into communities, make sure it is less of a burden and actually helps people.

Only if the agreements are run through an audited non profit entity subject to salary caps on all higher executives.

We need to utilize the homes we already have, we have no shortage of empty homes but we have a shortage of homes that are not hoarded or too expensive.

given how big the U.S. is as a whole, it would be stupid not to utilize disposable land to give everyone a decent amount of space. lets not make another Kowloon City.

Personally, I believe rent and the cost of mortgage should be lowered to allow for people to be able to afford to live wherever they want.

No, there are already plenty of empty apartments. We don’t need to build more, we need to fill the ones we have.

No, I think there should be a regulation on the operations of homeless shelters to ensure safety and privacy to the best of the shelter's ability- in order to protect and provide for those without homes that do not feel that a shelter is what is best for their own personal wellbeing

Yes, but they also have to have a scientifically proven amount of nature incorporated in the design of the buildings. And they should prioritize the collaboration of any small business the tenants have to build brick and mortar shops.

Only if costs go down so this will actually solve problems. Also, emphasis on "Incentivize" not "fund"

Yes in areas that are seeing an increase in residents and homelessness and maybe even have programs that can get homeless people off their feet and a temporary home. Some places do not always need to be build up.

Yes, but it should be focused on rennovating existing structures and maintaining good quality not developing new land and choking out the skyline.

Sure, but please make sure that there are safety measures for migrating birds and clearing the air that is produced.

The market prices are too high and interest rates are insane. People should be able to by a home with their over min wage income. This should be an issue.

No, but the government should regulate and lower the pricing of housing or provide finanical aid for those seeking to own a house but struggle with finances.

The government should decrease the inflation of housing costs and limit how many family homes that large companies can purchase and rent

I feel like it depends on the individual's perspective and the benefits of the drawbacks of high density.

Yeah maybe but also we should all get along and effetely have a way of safety and waste management. Another big thing is transportation for these people and activities to do among living freely near one another

Mixing it up is best, some areas do not benefit from high density, while other rapidly population-growing cities with limited ability to physically grow would benefit from it.

I think location should be taken into account. Mixed density is the best - some high density in high-growth areas and some lower density options. I think this is a problem that requires a spectrum for solutions.

No, this has been tried and has failed, rather zoning laws should be re-examined and NIMBY's should not be able to block developments endlessly

i think they shouldn't continue building houses evrywhere because more houses in peoples back yards are less parking spaces for people who own houses

Sure but dont allow them to owned by megacomglomerates like blackrock but locals that have ties to their communities.

yes, but focusing on repurposing old buildings or construction grounds and not tearing away new grounds every chance.

They shouldn't really push it hard but should push for people to get their lives together and help themselves.

Depends on the purpose and place of the construction. If it serves no purpose and is taking up unnecessary place of nature, then don't construct it.

I don't think it should be ENCOURAGED. Having many people in one building can get extremely chaotic and doesn't ensure safety of the people living there. They also take up a lot of electricity/water usually.

Yes, depending on location. You can integrate them into a town without ruining the economy or value around it

No, fix the influx of people coming in here as well as fix the economical brackets so people can have their own spaces

No, high-density residential buildings result in more aggressive and violent people speaking from experience.

They should incentivize the renovation and reconstruction of older buildings to become this instead of creating new ones.

Yes, however high-density buildings should take notes from other nations in order to influence construction along with any auxiliary functions it may have (establishment of businesses within a part of residential buildings to make them multi-role, making certain sections "assistant" segments that provide health or police or some other service, etc)

yes, more time they would start to incentivize for high residential buildings. when the place is more develup

I think they should add high density housing first before they expand in the rural areas for more housing.

yes, and focus on providing homeless people jobs, make educational programs for such individuals, cut the social programs for them not to spend money on drugs

Yes, as long as it doesn't encroach on suburbanized areas or destroy minority communities to make way for them.

No, these facilities will degenerate into slums that will be rife with crime and poverty regardless.

No, we have the housing. The prices are just unaffordable. It's financial, not exactly the lack of space.

Yes, but add minimum requirements for housing size, number of rooms, size of hallways, and overall quality of the housing to maximize safety, comfort, and space.

I believe that the current state of the housing market is chaotic, with wealthy people purchasing numerous houses, landlords hiking up rent, and average citizens struggling to afford homes. To address this issue, I think it's necessary to create affordable housing options while also implementing safety measures to prevent crime and the formation of gangs.
