Yeah, it’s challenging… I’ve seen hostile promoters creating undesirable “condos” just to squeeze out as much profit as they can from a lot, for example by removing all the greenspace and putting parking lots.
How do you propose to manage preservation/improvement of green cities when promoters try to cram as many units as possible in a tiny land?
I want to increase housing density, but not by forcing everyone to live in “Judge Dredd” tenements everywhere…
It’s worth looking into why they cram so many units in. In my opinion, because there’s so little room to build any kind of density, where it is allowed, developers feel the need to maximize their space budget to cater to the segment of the population that really does want the smaller place.
If we had more flexibility, we could have a wider range of places, rather than just giant mansion houses and small tenements. The law doesn’t allow for much else.
