Absolutely.

But it makes developers a crap ton of money. And the US population has been increasing, so the Hugh density movement will continue to succeed.

It makes developers a ton of money because people want to buy what they're selling.

Also, it doesn't kill.

Does during a pandemic. And I doubt Covid will be the last one.

Tell us about the dense development in Wicomico County, Maryland.

Wicomico County has 7 deaths. What is your point?

How many deaths in DC?

So then why do that in DC neighborhoods?

It's one thing to say that density spreads coronavirus. It's wrong, but at least it's plausible.

It is another thing entirely to say that upFLUMming is spreading coronavirus. That's just ridiculous.

UpFLUMming enables significant height and density to be added to less dense residential neighborhoods.

Please explain how making it possible to build taller buildings in the future is spreading coronavirus now.

It’s an unsanitary practice in the 21st century global world undergoing climate change. No need to build new tenement- like conditions that are a breeding ground for contagious disease.

Tall buildings are unsanitary tenements?

Oh, I just can't.

Infections stemming from poultry-processing plants, aka high-density environments.

The challenge facing New York and other tightly cramped cities around the United States can be seen by comparing the country’s largest city to its second biggest, Los Angeles.

Apparently they're $800,000 luxury unsanitary tenements on top of Wegmans, though. So weird.

It's very weird, and kind of surreal, to hear people try to argue that density has nothing to do with coronavirus.

Again, what is your point?

Having lots of people crammed into a poultry plant, working without any social distancing will lead to more cases.

Just like having people crammed into tiny apartments, literally on top of each other, will lead to more cases.

And just like having people in nursing homes leads to more cases.

Having more space is a benefit in a pandemic. Higher density living and working leads to more Covid cases and more deaths.

People in their own apartments is the opposite of people jammed next to each other on a poultry line. Good grief.

Get used to it, because the fact is that it doesn't. New York City was late to respond to coronavirus, that's all.

There's a lot of room for policies in between "let's make parts of D.C. denser than they are now to improve long-term sustainability and boost housing affordability" and "let's make all of D.C. as dense as New York City." This is a straw man argument at heart (so naturally, it's gone on for 42 pages and counting...).

You sound either nuts or terribly misinformed.

Let me guess: You also think social distancing is a crock and that all schools and businesses should immediately reopen.
