    like making more housing is kinda of the solution, the problem is that you don’t need to build houses as much as should retrofit existing buildings that are empty in dense urbans spaces into housing, as they would have access to much better infrastructure and would be cheaper and less damaging to de enviroment as building materials have such a fucked up carbon footprint due to their production, like i am from brazil and i think the best thing lula did was his proposal to use old federal buildings that have lost their use into housing (for example, a bunch of stuff in rio that is on the most valued land with a bunch of transportation and infrastructure already built in that lost their function when the capital moved to Brasilia) which is incredibly better than the other program that we already had from his first term that builds houses because those tend to be so far away from where people actually live on the areas that have the least job oportunities

      In areas where that’s viable, I agree. Issue is in a lot of newer, usually Western US cities, restrictive zoning resulted in a lot of low density, single family development. In some cases it probably would be more efficient to replace some of it with higher density apartment complexes.
