You’re just laying out engineering problems with very good solutions. Densification doesn’t mean overcrowding or a lack of parks, it just requires creativity. The neighborhood will look very different though.

There’s no point fighting against known norms in economics now. Induced demand in housing is hogwash: there are a certain number of people who dream of moving to east village and that number doesn’t magically grow if you build more housing. After decades of underbuilding, yes the demand is high, but it’s not infinite. Build out the suburbs too, build good transit, split the difference and the housing prices stabilize.
