The best housing is the housing you can afford. Would I like to live in a ten million dollar mansion with dino nuggies dispensers? Sure, but I can’t afford that, so I don’t. We will never ever ever get to affordable housing and affordable living with single family homes and car dependent sprawl.
Just offering the solution. If you don’t like it, you can KEEP not getting housing. I moved out into the woods to be able to afford the house that I have. The fact that you won’t even posit that as an OPTION is telling. You want it your way, or no way. Well guess what…you’re not getting it your way, so you’re gonna have nothing.
Car-dependent sprawl only happens when the ONLY thing you’re building is housing. If you use zoning laws to ensure that you get enough businesses in the area, then it’s not car dependent any more and you’re just beginning your own little city in a place where there isn’t one already.
You don’t have to start in an ALREADY established city.
