High density destroys plant life, increases traffic delays for delivery of goods, and increases the number of goods that are delivered. Transporting humans to their jobs is a very small fraction of our carbon footprint overall. And there are more pressing environmental concerns than just carbon emissions.
Larger homes promote sharing. One vacuum cleaner for example.
Stop parroting high density marketing. Stop destroying the environment to enrich investors.
