everyone is talking about bad men, women damage and knife attacks - and how to give women some money to leave and set up somewhere else (even though there is nowhere else - no rentals available)
But who is discussing the obvious -----------------
the strong and unstoppable wave of the rise of ultra high density living in major cities - where millions more are being squeezed into 2 bedroom apartments going skyward???????
Think about this ----------- one has a tempestuous relationship -------------- in a 3 bedroom house in a suburb - with a little backyard
now think this ---------------- how is living with each other going to be when one goes into a Melbourne high-rise - in a 2 bedroom apartment with no back yard at all??????????
here's my tip ----------------- it's NOT going to be pretty
I suggest that DV has been improving over the years -------- I suggest that when we get more dense living - that it will go backwards quite a bit
unless living in a small sardine can is somehow a condition that is conducive to domestic bliss - and I've not heard about it ------------------------- oh wait
we already know what is going to happen -------------
''High-density living appears to be worse for domestic violence:
The first study found that women are more negatively affected by high-density living environments than men, and may experience increased depression and feelings of helplessness in crowded conditions[1]. The second study reported that over 30% of respondents had lived in overcrowded housing, and some directly linked overcrowding to increased violence[2].
The third study discussed how intimate partner violence, housing instability, and mental health issues are interconnected public health concerns, and the Domestic Violence Housing First model was more effective than standard care at improving survivors' safety and mental health[3].
The fourth study also highlighted that high-density living and housing inadequacy can be environmental stressors that contribute to increased household violence[4].
In summary, the search results indicate that high-density living is associated with more domestic violence, as it can exacerbate mental health issues like depression in women and create stressful living conditions that escalate conflict and violence within the home. Providing stable, adequate housing appears to be an important factor in reducing domestic violence.
