All the while, keeping housing affordable. I would be ok with that. Density doesn't have to be 20 story condo buildings offering sub 1000 sqft apartments.
Who exactly would be buying those? Any of those houses in Hawkwood would likely sell within a month right now (fairly priced), whereas a townhouse might sell in 2-3 months if you're lucky. And any savings you might get by buying a condo or townhouse are nullified with ridiculous condo fees. Then you have to potentially deal with noisy/####ty neighbors, bad building management, parking issues, restrictions on pets/visitors, etc. Right now the market is overwhelmed with buyers coming from condos who want to get away from that, building more of what they're moving away from won't help anything
