This is downtown Brooklyn - NYC. Building the apartments in your image would lower density where this skyscraper is being built.
Luxury buildings in downtown Brooklyn are not for the super rich - they’re for the 1%ers who work at banks downtown, and will almost certainly be rental units which are pretty constantly booked.

The equivalent suburb would be 10x the emissions because people drive.
NYC needs millions more units of housing: this is how that happens in the densest parts of the city.
Need to density other parts: sure. But it’s good to have buildings anywhere we can get them in NYC.

If you don’t build shitty apartments for the rich they’ll just gentrify poor areas.
More housing is more housing.

You don’t get how housing constrained NYC is.

Cause you don’t sound like you know a single thing about Brooklyn NY. Or about what it means to be housing constrained.
