You don't need extremely high density, and you can still grill on your own balcony (or little terasse). Theres an important density threshold which allows communities to be walkable and servable by rapid transit. Many areas of Montreal are comfortably above that threshold by using triplexes, even just duplexes.
- isostatic 8y ago20 houses per hectare is low density, with a decent garden and local roads. At that level you can fit 20,000 houses, or 50-70k people, within a short 2km walk of a station, and a few local shops around the place too, and on average you’re about 800m from the edge of town. Have 1 town every 10km (so 6km of country between them) and that’s a 6:1 country:town ratio and a density higher than that of even the Netherlands.
