there is a choice people are making, and that the developers have been providing: Spending 400 K for a two bedroom condo in the core or spend that same 400 K and own a lot in the burbs.
For young families who can't afford 700k - 900K for a townhouse or house in the inner city, I get why you would make that choice. But its still a choice...plenty of people in denser cities live and raise families in condos just fine...and if they choose to move out to the burbs, that's their choice
YOU are saying people living in inner city neighborhoods were the cause of urban sprawl. I said that was laughable...

You obviously aren't reading what I am saying as you keep trying to compare SFH to Condos. And I certainly concede that anyone who chooses to live in a Condo is not contributing to sprawl.
I am saying that the amount of land you occupy is your contribution to sprawl regardless of where that land is located.
