If you think two-story houses are high-density, You Too Might Be Part of The Problem™.

Fair enough. But honestly I wouldn't be happy if my area (which has big properties, lots of space between each house) was de-zoned into an anarchy where developers could build 10 story "luxury housing", increasing traffic and noise. I guess the intention is good, but it won't work everywhere.

It would work, you just wouldn't be happy with it happening In Your BackYard.

It is nearly universal that people are a lot more accepting of doing things in other people's back yard than they are their own.
