Except that many of them cause the sprawl.
Many live in 50 ft lots, oppose basement suites, and try to restrict height on developments. In many cases the people residing in SFHs in the inner city are a larger contributor to sprawl then us yop gobblers.
The location of where you live does not define your contribution to sprawl. The amount of land you occupy does. So a Condo dweller anywhere in the city has a lower impact on sprawl than anyone who Ives in an SFH.
