More density implies that services get built closer together. A corner store needs a high level of density to exist, but when it does it cuts down your trips to a large grocery store.
I live in a dense city. I have a grocer half a block away, 10 coffee shops in a 5-block radius, etc.
You have an extremely Americanized view of a fundamentally unsustainable housing mechanism; American car-dependent suburbs don't make any sense as the main source of housing.

Density in CA means it takes you an hour to drive to get to Whole Foods that's 7 miles away bc of traffic, something I experienced in Venice Beach. Density in CA makes already bad traffic way worse, and its not like the infrastructure is going to upgrade such that coffee shops spring up on every neighborhood corner. > You have an extremely Americanized view of a fundamentally unsustainable housing mechanism Bc I live in America. > American car-dependent suburbs don't make any sense as the main source of housing. Agreed, but I do not think ADUs make much sense in a suburban area that does not support the infrastructure for more dense housing.

If we built up, there would be enough customers for you to not need to go to Whole Foods and instead be able to hit up a smaller grocer on your block without getting in a car. Traffic is bad because we don't have density we have sprawl
