Making Density Desirable

"A growing number of people who can afford to live anywhere in the Triangle are giving up the space and privacy of single-family houses for townhomes and condominiums, creating demand for the kind of dense housing that planners and developers say is necessary to help stanch the region's sprawl. Planners are encouraged not only by the numbers of these tony townhomes and condos, but also by their location: They are popping up in the suburbs, where low-density housing has been the rule."
