"because in the 50'someone wanted to segregate themselfs"
Don't judge lest ye be judged yourself. We do not know personally how all the housing conditions looked like in the 50's, and a lot of mundane facts weren't interesting enough to make it to history books.
We may actually be making similar decisions right now, unaware of their future ramifications that will bite our descendants in 2100.
Personally, I grew up in a block of flats, lived in blocks of flats my entire life, and I yearn for a bit of a garden. In autumn, I am moving to a terrace house that has a bit of garden. It is close to public transport and not isolated in the middle of nowhere - things are different in Europe in this regard - but still lower density than technocrats probably consider optimal.
But I am really tired of 44 years of hearing shouting, fighting, abuse, drinking, puking and all sorts of mayhem from all directions. My new home won't be a tranquil paradise, but it will likely be an improvement for my nerves.
