Nobody is saying people who want their own yard shouldn't be able to have that.

But those that don't have that as a priority, or can't afford it, should also have options.

Nobody is suggesting turning all suburbs into high-rises. But we need variety and supply in the market, so that people have choices that suit their lifestyle and income. Including the option to live closer to where they work to reduce the traffic on your roads.

There is plenty of choices. Don’t blame us suburb lovers with families and safety concerns if the yuppies, DINKs, and well to do retirees priced you out of the urbanity you desire.
This post is about rent prices continuing to increase across the country. If there were plenty of choices relative to demand, I would expect supply and demand to not continue driving prices up.
