Those are the old NIMBY Austinities who want NOTHING to do with highrises. C'mon ppl... Common sense here.

Sorry, but you are completely wrong in making such a blanket statement. I personally know high rise residents that tend community gardens miles from their homes because they miss the ability to garden. I know they would die for an opportunity to do it on their own roof terraces. Providing such amenities make high density living more attractive to people who are used to living in single family homes.
