All the while, keeping housing affordable. I would be ok with that. Density doesn't have to be 20 story condo buildings offering sub 1000 sqft apartments.
Hilarious that you picked a point literally a block away from my first family's first house as an example of what's undesirable. Growing up in these burbs was pretty great age 5-11, or so, but it then became a prison from ages 12 and up. As soon as my priorities changed from playing with the sprinkler in the backyard, I realized just how challenging doing anything became when a major commute was involved. My father also sacrificed a lot of time with his family, as he had to work 10-12 hours/day and commute 2-3 hours on top of that.
