It doesn't have to be low rise housing. Look at Singapore for an example of how high density, high-rise housing can coexist with plentiful public spaces.

It's not an environmental problem, it's a cultural problem.

People just don't want to have children anymore, fertility rates have dropped a lot post-2012(smartphones and social media)

There are subgroups with above-replacement total fertility. Some people don't want to continue existing, but not everyone.
