The problem in the United States is there is almost no choice. If I want to live in walkable/bikable area, I might be fine with living in a tiny flat at a reasonable price. But because of zoning, parking minimums, discretionary review, setbacks, roads designed for traffic throughput etc. there is a huge shortage of these areas so they are not only small, but expensive. We need to allow these types of communities for people to have choice.
