> The idea that "density" is "miserable" is a uniquely post-war american one. Right, once Americans were able to afford cars and could physically remove themselves from urban density, they did, and it became part of the "American Dream". More so on the East Coast, where farm-land for development was cheap and relatively accessible to urban centers of business. On the West Coast where cities are either crammed between mountains and coast, or stuck in the middle of a desert, owning property required paying the higher prices driven by high demand and little supply. > It really doesn't work that way. It works that way for anyone who doesn't want to live in dense urban environments.
