US cities are generally fairly low density. That pushes more people to the suburbs, or low density suburb-like development at the edge of the city, driving up prices there and adding commuter traffic that the city pays to handle. If people want to live in the suburbs that's fine, but given housing prices in most cities I think there is greater demand than supply for residential there.
- stetrain 2y agoIf you'd like a specific example: https://www.sparefoot.com/moving/city-guides/4385319-visualizing-atlantas-population-density/ https://www.sparefoot.com/moving/city-guides/4385319-visuali... Really any city that you can think of that's surrounded by a spaghetti tangle of highways full of commuters every morning and evening, which is most of them in the US.
