Density supports local businesses though. An apartment building was built a block from my home about a decade ago. I was promised congestion, parking issues, and petty crime - but what I got was a brewery, a cafe, and a restaurant that survived COVID. Feels like a win for me.
You objectively have a more crowded neighborhood though, regardless of you being happy with the end result.
Probably not even objectively. My neighborhood has less than half the population of had 30 years ago because it's all retired people in single family homes where 30 years ago it was all families. They've even closed down the school because of it.
