Yet people keep flocking to them dreadful single-family-home-majority cities, happy to pay rent and all.

  I don't know anyone starting a family happy with the situation. Most people I know are moving to suburbs only because they can't get 3 bedroom apartments in cities. If MFH's became broadly available I think many new families would flock there.

    Everyone I spoke to who has lived with kids in both flats and houses on 600sqm blocks prefers the latter, commute (which commute?) be damned.

        Or Those who want to know their kids are safe and have a place to play.

          Not much use wanting to have a stand-alone place if you can't afford it.

            Rural homes are dirt cheap almost everywhere. Yes, choices are made.
