Sounds we should really build walkable city with convenient mass transit in the US and Europe. It's a shame that building anything infrastructure in the US is prohibitively expensive.

Building single family homes is much cheaper in the US because of prefabrication. It's something like 3x less per square foot than a 5/1.
