Having lived and worked in several highrises, I'll say that density advocates (which includes me, mostly) almost always glaze over vertical commute time and annoyance. Elevators and steps are a huge pain in the ass any time you're carrying anything more than a messenger bag/handbag and a travel mug. And there always seem to be way more doorways involved, somehow, with doors that don't really want to be opened or stay open long enough to allow real-world transit.

Yes, I can only imagine!
