Removed Comment Unpopular opinion maybe but they're right. Increasing density without also reducing dependence on car ownership just increases the vacancy rate or makes people leave the cars they need in places that make it everyone's problem. Increasing housing density always needs to be done in conjunction with improving infrastructure to support that increased density (improved walkability, mixed use properties, upgrading transit, bike lanes, whatever) or everyone loses. by osaerisxero @kbin.melroy.org reason: Rule 1, misinformation

Note that Rule 1 of the community doesn’t even mention anything about misinformation. and in fact explicitly encourages being civil when faced with opposing opinions:

Rules 1. Be Civil You may not agree on ideas, but please do not be needlessly rude or insulting to other people in this community.
