I say this because, just as I prefer density - I get why people prefer sprawl. I get why they'd like to live on a quiet street, with an ample yard and garage, and sure a painful drive for everything and less neighbors, but also an easy ability to host and to build out "man-caves" and "she-sheds" and store boats or have other workshops.

I prefer impromptu meetups with other parents at the park and the convenience of having everything a short walk/bike ride/drive away. But the key here is - there should be a choice. And right now, there isn't enough choice and also there isn't enough housing.
Yes! I made this move a couple years ago. The big yard is both a joy (wildlife come to visit often, the quiet is pleasing) and a nuisance (mowing, weeding, tree care). No walking to the grocery any more, though I can bicycle it if I have time. Very few casual meetups with the neighbors. We do have room for our camper van, and my wife does have her wood shop...
