The thing I dislike about high density housing is the lack of trees. Some thought needs to be put into this if it is the path we are going to travel
The space for trees is where the road is. Reduce the lane width and curbside parking and you have plenty of space for greenery along the street. Just take a look at some streets in Amsterdam.
The beauty of high density housing is it takes up a lot less room and should leave land for green spaces. If we're no all living in a suburban hellscape a hopefully more people are walking to shrink roads there's more room for parks and trees.
It shouldn't be this way if done right. High density housing should make room for lots of parks and green space, green courtyards, etc.
