America so desperately thinks they can plan urban design like Japan, but it will be a disaster because America never plans anything right. For starters, the US doesn't have the infrastructure to be designed like Japan. Our public transport sucks ass. Everyone drives everywhere.

All we are going to get are a bunch of neighborhoods that were designed for SFHs now flooded with townhouses, multiplexes and apartments. You are ging to get a million cars parking on the streets, trash problems, and water problems.  People are still going to drive everywhere.  [/quote]

This.  They increase the density and do nothing to upgrade the infrastructure to handle the density.  We have had so many apartment building put up around our neighborhood, but have they increased school capacity?  No.  And the traffic is horrendous.  Now takes forever just to get out of my neighborhood.  It's awful.  Not to mention all I can see when I look up is buildings instead of sky.  If I wanted that, I would have purchased a home in the city.[/quote]

It’s going to suck, but overall your property value will likely go up, depending.  Your SFH, if it’s developable, will go up in value.’ If you spent a tons of money on your house and have two apartment buildings pop up on your street, you might be be in trouble lmao

My house is redone with an addition, but I think that I could subdivide into multiple units and would just move somewhere nicer. Everyone else can enjoy the 10,000 cars parks on their streets :)[/quote]
