I love how lots of people think that there's only two types of living densifications.... single family homes in suburbia and crammed urban condos downtown.
Building urban actually means more effective and efficient densification, not necessarily 'studio apartments' everywhere. You can have sizable properties for families in low-to-medium rise buildings and complexes that are surrounded by instantly-available amenities such as grocery, coffee shops, public plazas, etc.
I guarantee if the flag-waving suburbanite crowd (aka Shane Home customers, lol) did some more detailed research on what densification actually is and saw some new examples around the world, they wouldn't be so hostile and judgmental to the concept of urban living.
