Yes they are, if that's the only kind of housing that extremist politicians will allow in the future. That is, in fact, what the plan is. Everyone in the future will be forced, LITERALLY FORCED because of the available housing options, to share walls with their neighbors whether they want to or not if they're going to live anywhere near gainful employment.
>solipisistic point-of-view
Not an argument. A lot of people find apartment living to be a low quality life style. It's nowhere near as superior as at least owning your own home. It's hard for me to buy that you're accusing me of being self-centered when all of these high density housing projects will be owned by faceless corporations that will be tied to the financial services industry.

There's nothing altruistic, collectivist, or conscientious-minded about housing development after housing development all owned by BlackRock with Amazon/Palantir doing surveillance and data mining of all the residents of every building.
This isn't even really about housing. It's about monopoly take over of housing.
Not everyone wants to live like that. You're trying to impose your contrived bullshit urban metropolitan "values" on everyone.

Sorry, but the financial firm that you want to take over the entire housing market isn't entitled to own every single family dwelling in the suburbs as well as every other Chinese style housing tower in the city. That's called a monopoly, and it needs to be broken up.

The Bay Area has its own unique problems, but they have high density housing and public transit. Silicon Valley tech workers and California style taxation are what's making it unaffordable there -- not leaving people alone to have housing options where they won't be forced to share walls with their neighbors.
>urban crime
Urban crime is literally linked to high population density. Don't be fucking obtuse about this.
