You are basically saying that people should be couped up in tiny little shoeboxes, so that parks can be larger. I don't mind bigger parks, but it's very nice to have a big yard and a garage too. With a city like approach in the suburbs, you will have less personal space. I am not talking extreme here - regular American properties in most middle class areas work just fine in my opinion, and they are usually not overly large.
