No, real estate moguls have learned that apartments and high-rise condos and hotels are more profitable than single family homes.

Sure, when zoning codes allow for them.

So you know, essentially never.

If they rezone a national park to residential it will definitely be highrise MDU.

Why do you say that? We destroy plenty of nature and it almost always ends up single family home suburban sprawl.
