Denser Housing

In metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, the only way to add more housing units in a drivable area is to build up.

Northwestern Orange County — handy as a commuter’s jump-off for points north, south, and east — has come under pressure for more housing. Most of the housing is single-family detached suburban tract housing, with some standard apartments, townhouses and condominiums in complexes generally separated from the detached houses. But as housing prices have shot through the roof, great pressure has built up to increase the density of the housing.

It is educational to compare what is happening in Los Angeles (the quintessential spread out metropolitan area) with San Francisco (its opposite in that characteristic) and Atlanta (suffering from spread while trying to retain a vital core). Other cities could be added, but limiting the investigation to those three cities makes it possible to finish and probable to provide insight. Oh, for the time to do so!
