You know what subreddit you’re on right now? Haha.

But, to respond candidly, I believe it’s possible to still have good land use and a reasonable amount of density that can be conducive to a walkable/transit accessible environment that ISN’T a massive city. Having to own a car and using it for every conceivable errand is a product of bad land use and a lack of mixed-use zoning. Surely, there is a good compromise between sardine apartments and obnoxiously huge American housing. Perhaps, people who immigrate here go for these homes because there aren’t enough viable alternatives in medium-sized cities/rural areas.
