First, you’ll note that I specified urban a lot. Transit definitely doesn’t work for everyone but it’ll work where the majority of the population is. Second, transit not working in most American suburbs is an artificial choice. Transit works well in the railroad suburb I live in now but the white flight-era suburbs were intentionally designed not to work for transit or pedestrian access and while later designs might have been less intentional about it, low density is a challenge. That low density is also what makes them financially unstable and is creating challenges for an aging population, so I wouldn’t treat it as evidence of strong demand rather than people picking the most heavily subsidized option. California has had a huge boom in ADU construction when it was streamlined, revealing a great deal of market demand for density which was previously stymied.
