No one is swimming across this river so clearly we don't need a bridge.

Your assertion certainly explains why the most walkable places in the country also have the highest housing costs, no one wants to live there!

And yet, the most expensive places to live in dense areas are single family homes. Like how much does a brownstone in Greenwich Village cost? 15 million? Clearly in any environment, a single family home is the most desirable option. People may be willing the settle for a different option in exchange for some other benefits like having a lot to do, but given the choice they’ll still pick a single family home.
