Studies actually show that medium density low rises allow for more housing and are more ecologically efficient than supposedly high-density high rises. I was surprised, but the models are irrefutable. It's mainly due to the structural footprint of large buildings.

So that's my ideal. Paris, not Manhattan. Side benefit is it just looks nicer and feels better.

You mean the rich areas of Paris? Not banlieue 93

I'm sure New York has areas similar to Montmartre where only rich people can afford to live, and areas like Seine Saint Denis where they cram all the poor people in awful environments which result in criminality and cyclical poverty

Um...yes? Idk much about Paris geography but who gives a fuck, you understand what I'm saying.
