This isn’t how this would work. You’d get 100 houses, or 100 high rises.

Why not 50-50. Then 90% of both high rises and houses can go derelict because there are not enough people capable of paying for them.

That’s dumb as fuck. It’s a comparison of 100 homes vs 100 homes. Not 100 homes vs 1000 homes.

This is something I’m seeing A LOT in this thread, this NIMBY notion that if we just refuse to build housing that the rest of the population needing housing will just poof and disappear.

There are 8 billion people on this planet. We can either choose to build sprawl-for-all and destroy the planet, or we can build denser, more walkable, more transit-oriented cities.

No we would just stop building at 100 population. Everyone else can then fight for the increasingly rare living space. Just like real life.
