That's really only the case when you have regulation limiting supply growth upwards, and/or limited amounts of land you can sprawl outwords. I grew up in chicago and we love to build high rises (chicago engineers were the ones that designed the Burj Khalifa to give you an example of our love for architecture), and we have hundreds of miles of farmland we can sprawl out to forever increasing supply of homes.
