People in DFW love their single family homes. Like most everywhere else in America: if your policy suggestion is "give up a lot of space and turn your residential neighbourhood into multi-family housing," you're going to get a lot of resistance. It's not so land locked, which has delayed things since people can expand out, but look at what traffic is doing as a result! It'll keep sprawling, and costs will keep going up in the more central areas, though not as fast for sure. Is it better to have growth spread to places that aren't in a not-geographically-bottlenecked-already-full area? Sure, probably. Seems a lot more sustainable and a lot less just a boon to existing lucky landholders. But then your policy solution goes back to "close SF and the other places that are full to push the growth elsewhere," not some sort of "just manage SF's growth better!" wishful thinking.
