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.
These are very good points, just because of where some of us live doesn't mean the fight is over to keep the city building in a sustainable direction. Heck our community association still digs in on a lot of new projects that are bringing more density to the area. I think the key is to get a mix of all housing types into a community, choice and price points for all.
