In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? (www.theguardian.com)

Well we are building more - but I'm sure we could build more. But if Australia is to have higher density living (such that is it common for families to live in apartments) then we have to reduce car dependency. Increasing the number of cars when the traffic is already maxed out can only lead to problems. So we have to add more people without more cars. i.e. more people who don't drive cars.
