Excellent summary. As you say, high density does not mean high rise.
One thing I'd like to see more of would be low rise development over shopping mall parking lots. It wouldn't displace existing character homes; it would support the merchants at the mall; and it would create a high use transit hub.
The poster child for this is Stonestown in San Francisco:
It will be very interesting to see what council decides when it is faced with a clear decision: approve a high-rise development as requested by a developer, or deny it on the basis that it does not comply with its own climate action and sustainability plans.
