Density appears to be required because letting people do remote work causes them to live in cities /even more/. When they do spread out, it doesn't encourage low density, but rather even far out places like Spokane become unaffordable.

Besides that, low density suburbia is a very artificial post-WW2 invention, traditional villages were dense enough.

Indeed so; I've been to small towns in western Poland which are many centuries old, and they are pretty dense, sometimes downright tight. I've been to a number of small towns in Ireland and England, and they look properly urban, nothing like suburban sprawl.
