Why do you assume to know best about what should be everywhere? This thread gives examples of how this is the only level of density that is even being allowed, but why cheer that? People, when left to their own devices, have generally preferred something like von Thunen rings, rather than a single level of density. Letting such decisions play out organically ought to be the default position, unless you have some very strong non-aesthetic reason to do otherwise.

Citation please. The US can’t be used as an example because zoning laws have enforced strict single use zones for many decade. When you look at Europe which never had such zone if laws, you don’t find clear cut zones, or such clear cut concentric rings of density.
