Not sure how "rich" people feel trading a single family home on a quarter acre for a 800 sq ft 2-bedroom house. I've lived in plenty of dense urban cities in developing countries and they live that way because they can't afford better, not because it's ideal.

Yes, that's a trade-off that people have to decide for themselves.
Though if more and higher construction were legal, they could afford a bigger place in dense urban cities, too.
(Of course, the number of plots for single family houses is limited. But there's no limit to how big your apartments can be, if you are willing to stack them.)
