The parent also mentioned Jane Jacobs who a lot of people like to remember for getting highway construction blocked and, as they say, supported walkable neighborhoods that were communities. I would also guess that Jacobs would also have been perfectly fine with Wet Village "NIMBYs" blocking high-rise residential construction if they didn't want it. Livable neighborhoods probably correlate better to high housing prices than low.

Is high-rise (>10 storeys) really needed? Or would mid-rise (5-10) be sufficient?

Certainly some areas could use high (near major transit hubs), but towers don't have to be planted everywhere.
