    Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear, I didn’t mean that increasing density decreases standard of living, I meant over-occupying spaces that aren’t built for the purpose decreases standard of living. In many parts of the world a family lives in a single room, but that doesn’t mean Canada has to do it too.

    High density requires planned infrastructure to support it, and suddenly having houses in the suburbs with 20 people living in them is not a healthy form of density.

      Ah sorry, the “this” in “this is just decreasing standard of living” was meant to refer to people cramming up, not to “increase density”. Thanks for clarifying.

      Well, we agree on that. Cheers to planned infrastructure instead of rooming in the suburbs.
