&gt;	that’s why americans need to remember how to build denser cities again.

Not everyone wants to live in a densely populated city. 

&gt;	And now I’m in Europe

I’ve noticed a lot of these responses are from Europeans with shockingly (or not) little perspective on american life/infrastructure. That’s not a dig at you btw, just something I’ve seen here when comparing N.A to EU

As an American, I personally think the number of people who "don't care where, I just want to live somewhere nice" is larger than people give credit for. Also density doesn't mean necessarily "live in the pod". Townhomes and duplexes aren't commonly built here, as well as literally just single family homes that *don't* sit on an enormous yard.

Densification can also take the form of minimizing parking lots in the urban core, putting large taxes on unutilized property to reduce vacancy/speculation and lower rent rates, and encouraging/enhancing transit to minimize cars in the urban core. It's not a great at all solution, but something commonly done are park and rides, where instead of driving into the city you drive to the commuter station and ride in that way. It keeps the lots out in the areas that already are sprawling, while also in certain places giving a faster commute due to no traffic on LRT
