New York is a real outlier among American cities and I'm sure its needs are different. Here in Seattle, three quarters of the land available for residential use within the city limits is zoned exclusively for single-family housing. This is absurd. Yes, the population of the city should double: the alternative is that all those people will be pushed out into ever-further reaches of suburban sprawl.
