Keeping all of the trees while also building a 40,000 unit apartment building on the same lot is gonna be a bit of a trick. Unless the building is 30 stories high. That might be normal in New York, but that’s not something you’re gonna see very much outside of the city.
I’m all for vertical city building, but keep in mind what is likely to happen in your local community.
I'm pretty sure you've misunderstood the idea here in a couple of ways
No, I get it. I was just trying to make a joke.
Apparently, it wasn’t very funny.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But where would we play golf?
🤤
There isn’t any context on where this is, but:
- there aren’t enough golf courses to really impact housing supply
- parks and recreational facilities also serve a societal good assuming they’re accessible and serve the community as a whole
- golf courses aren’t usually located along transit
There are enough to reduce housing supply issues.
Private golf courses provide little to no benefit to anyone especially after we factor in the environmental costs.
Golf courses not being on pubic transit is the only part I agree with.

or we could not sacrifice our very limited green space to property developers overlords?!
i'm not saying don't use green space better.. but keep it green.
ps: i live in a very high density area and love it... but build up not out.
Public park > private golf course

What are all those stupid shapes, and why does it look like there about 3 feet between each one?
There's no reason cities have to be boring squares. And those shapes could preserve the most trees.
There's a reason houses aren't shaped really oddly. Also a reason there's more space between them.
Compare the space between them to the space between the blocks that exist. There's way more space.
Also, do tell what the reason is besides it just being cheaper to build on empty land? If this isn't meant to be a car centric neighbourhood, you really don't need everything to be straight.
Looks like normal European four-story buildings. I live in one with some strange corners. No Problem with them.
