This is downtown Brooklyn - NYC. Building the apartments in your image would lower density where this skyscraper is being built.
Luxury buildings in downtown Brooklyn are not for the super rich - they’re for the 1%ers who work at banks downtown, and will almost certainly be rental units which are pretty constantly booked.
I live in Brooklyn. While the transit could use some expansions it’s not only the best transit system in the USA it also has the most subway stations of any transit system on earth.
If that hasn’t fixed housing affordability what’s your proposed solution?
What’s that? Oh density? Ok cool glad we agree. Let’s build skyscrapers.
If you don’t build shitty apartments for the rich they’ll just gentrify poor areas.
More housing is more housing.
This is just BS as most apartments in skyscrapers are empty in general because not even rich people want to own that shit.
How about that(above image) and good public transport?

You don’t get how housing constrained NYC is.
Lower density isn’t the problem with affordable housing and public transport.
The skyscrapers are not good, they never are.
Get public transport.
We’re talking about Brooklyn NY
Do you know a single thing about Brooklyn NY?
Cause you don’t sound like you know a single thing about Brooklyn NY. Or about what it means to be housing constrained.
Do you know what public transport is?
Ok so you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The best public transport in usa is still shit compared to Europe… And density increase isn’t the way to go.
Mai sei mai andato a Roma? Vissi sia a Roma che a Napoli e nessun parte del trasporto pubblico è di qualità simile a quello di NYC. Nessun. Parte.
Scemo.
Fuck off troll.
