Concerning the proposal to allow more multi-family homes in single family neighborhoods, has there been research on whether this would be followed by rising crime?
Excellent article. Thanks. Though I have not studied the Reno proposals, I was a bit taken aback by what appears to be an effort to allow some high density projects without prior notice to those who live nearby.

It's hard to find studies matching this specific profile but a recent study from UC-Irvine found that the addition of affordable housing in Orange County did not lead to an increase in most types of crime. https://socialecology.uci.edu/news/affordable-housing-decreases-crime-increases-property-values
