Harsh reality is that once a city reaches certain size option for semi/detached housing becomes unrealistic to house majority of population. Just numbers game.

100%! We need to find incentives for people to move to small towns. Small town life can be absolutely wonderful and can still take place close enough to population areas.

We already have an enormous incentive - incredibly cheap housing. Mine was under 100k. But I am far, far more expensive for the public purse than when I lived in the city.
