[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Increasing density drives prices up, not down. The more people you put in an area, the more restaurants bars and other businesses want to be there too. That leads to more people wanting to live there, which leads to more businesses moving in, which makes the area more desirable and housing prices go to the moon.[/quote] +1 “Increasing density” is the same thing as gentrification. I guess it’s supposed to sound better.[/quote] So you understand that people want to live in dense areas and businesses want to locate there. And yet local governments should make it illegal to build a dense area because... you bought a house in the 1960s and you’re afraid of change? Truly the mental gymnastics at play here are astounding.[/quote]
