There’s not plenty of land with infrastructure to support people. That many houses also needs more schools, hospitals, roads, gas stations, grocery stores, etc
There’s not plenty of land with infrastructure to support people.
You may not have understood my point. The land I’m talking about already has infrastructure; you just have to bulldoze the houses that are already there and replace them with multifamily.
Schools only have a set amount of space and hospitals a set amount of beds.
Bulldoze a neighbourhood of 500 detached units housing 1500 people, 500 of which are children, to build towers which can house 6000, 2000 of which are children, you will then need to bulldoze the school which was there to be able to build another school 4x as large or find vacant land to build extra schools.
More people = more infrastructure not just houses.

It’s not just houses we need to build.
