It bugs me that people seem to think that dense living has to mean smaller homes. If you build up double-digit stories, you can have massive condominiums and still be far more dense than even the half-baked two- or three-story apartment buildings in my part of the US. Plus, when you don't have a quarter acre to store your stuff, the extra space comes in handy pretty frequently.
