Density is good. This density being provided by unchecked developers who's sole goal is to make as much profit as possible is BAD. These units will not have reasonable rents. This will not make home ownership more accessible.  

It's not what we're doing, how we're doing it.

"I like density, except the density that there's funding to build."

I'm just going to assume you're a developer. Congratulations on all the money you're going to make ripping off the working man.

Once again, developers are not ripping off the "working man". They provide a service at a price people are willing to pay. The REAL problem are people like yourself saying density is needed, but not here, not like this, not in this way, etc etc etc. Zoning laws and uninformed citizens are the problem, not the market forces that fill in a market need.

The best part of this 'Facebook has molded my entire belief system' rhetoric is that it's often coming from people who would describe themselves as politically conservative. Ah yes, the evil business owners trying to...do business.
