minus-squareVingst [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 months agoThat’s a false dichotomy. High rises aren’t even materially efficient. All that weight requires more reinforcing material. The Vienna socialist housing projects are decent examples. Mostly mid-rises and their one high-rise isn’t a spartan, drab eyesore. It’s not a trade-off, it’s just shitty thoughtless design.
