Community Building Tip: Housing

For my current set of tips, I'm using the list "101 Small Ways You Can Improve Your City.

88. Imagine housing in impossible places. "I love that in Indianapolis, near their new transit center, they looked at a traffic lane as they were redeveloping, and realized they didn't need it. So they put out an RFP for a developer to turn it into housing. Ironically the microhousing that was created is bolted onto a parking garage—which will be ultimately redeveloped, I would hope." — Gabe Klein, founder, CityFi

While I like the idea of more housing, that sounds like an absolutely crappy place to live.  By all means use impossible places, but they might make better greenspace or some other use than housing.
