As for urban sprawl, not everyone wants to live in an apartment downtown. Some people, believe it or not, like having a backyard for their kids to play in. I know it's totally unreasonable to you, Mr. Suzuki, but it's true.

You do not need a backyard to raise kids. Based on most data, I would argue that a much denser population with shared backyards, or no yards but more parks/greenspace is directly correlated to the quality of family and community relationships.
And yes, I have been to Japan.
