[quote=Anonymous]The "build, build, build" crowd of densifiers have already started to concede that the term 'dense' is a losing term with the further advance of COVID-19. You are starting to hear their narrative shifting Corona based issues with the term 'crowding'. You will start hearing a lot about how densification is good, but crowding is bad. Undoubtedly they will spin it to be another thing that increased density will solve, by eliminating 'crowding'.

While Los Angeles isn’t known for its dense landscape, the county is home to five of the 10 most “crowded” ZIP Codes — including the No. 1 most crowded — in the U.S., a recent Times analysis found. That means people are living in neighborhoods dominated by homes with more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms.

An analysis by New York University’s Furman Center found no relationship between the coronavirus and overall population density within New York City, with neighborhoods in Manhattan, the city’s densest borough, having some of the lowest infection rates. However, the study did find that the virus is more prevalent in areas of New York where more people are crowding into homes. [/quote]
