Dense neighborhoods kinda suck everywhere Ive seen it tho? I like having a backyard and not sharing walls with my neighbors, and having some quiet, and low crime, and not having to hunt for seats on buses and trains, etc.
Do you like having to drive everywhere, to shops with massive parking lots? Or having stroads not safe for your kids to play on where cars blast past at 40mph?
Have you been to places where they do density right? Paris comes to mind, as does the urban centers of the Netherlands.
Not everyone wants to live in the city, that's cool. But even inherently low density suburbs in the US suck. We used to have walkable streetcar suburbs [0], then the car came along and fucked everything up.
Yes, and I really really hate dense places like Paris and Netherlands. Fun to visit but can't stand living there. I want my yard, and my individual walls, and my quiet neighborhood. I'm pretty much fine driving and don't care much about parking lots. I don't have kids so thats not really a factor, I remember going to parks all the time when I was small for this reason.
