What are your thoughts regarding governments building high-rise houses?

I have done some research on the pros and cons. So far these are all I got, so, feel free to add some into it:

Disadvantages:
- the cost of construction
- earthquakes
- pollution
- these buildings don't come cheap

Advantages:
- not all countries are prone to earthquakes
- saves on space
- eases unemployment

Discuss.

I don't understand. is there actually a movement against high-rise buildings?

Or do you just mean the high-rises typically associated with slums and ghettos?

Also, since this might not be a very active topic, you can start us off by giving us your own thoughts and opinions on this debate, perhaps more eloquently so we have something to go on. Wink
