The US ranks #184 among countries in terms of population density. I don't think your theory is borne out by reality when you consider that lots of other countries have higher fertility rates and much larger cities with greater overall population density.

Well if you want to live anywhere you can actually find a job youll live in a densely populated area in the US. Sure there's a lot of land in the US and I actually believe it will benefit the country in the long term - but at the moment, nobody lives there.
Even densely populated parts of the US are not densely populated. We have huge yards, giant parking lots, and long drives from place to place. Aside from a handful of cities, the US is designed to resist density.
