That's a large amount of multifamily units, especially per capita.
The only way to build single family housing is southern miami-dade, and there's still urban development boundaries that restrict building near farm land.
Miami-Dade and Broward need a zoning refresh to allow higher density or middle-housing options. Currently a large swath of land is still dedicated to single-family homes with unrealistic zoning requirements.

What do you do about the pesky NIMBYs that show up and complain at city/county meetings? There aren't a ton of YIMBYs to counteract them from what I've seen. This is the biggest hurdle for zoning changes here and pretty much everywhere in the USA. People go ballistic about "traffic, crime, shadows, etc." when mid-rises are built in my area.
