Did you interpret my comment as suggesting that it does?


Well, converted office buildings was in the same clause as substandard housing…


I did. Was that a misunderstanding on my part ?


I'm trying to say that I hope we do not stop putting significant effort towards housing once we have fulfilled whatever quota we're trying to achieve. If we add units with converted office buildings, ADUs and other quick fixes, we may lose the drive to create dense, humane, pleasurable environments which we will need to coax folks back to efficient living in the urban areas(which must happen absent a serious commitment to carbon-neutral energy).
