It doesn't need to be multiunit buildings all the time. It does if "density" is the goal. Or, you know, there's always the somehow-unthinkable idea of just making the lots smaller. 1000 sqft houses on 2000 sqft lots could very well work, and may even be "affordable" somehow. Or you could continue to allow people to buy as much land as they want/can afford. No reason why people have to be packed like sardines. Then we're looped back around to bigass $500K-1M mcmansions, and constant bitching about "affordable" housing. Not necessarily. Allowing people to buy what they want/can afford doesn't mean that affordable housing won't be built. --- meingott <cite>meingott posted [p:878395164] in Really goo...
