Is densely living a virtue in itself? Seems so odd.

I mean, if you like to live near a ton of people you should be allowed to do so. But if you do not, you should also be allowed.

Not a virtue in itself. But if you live in the bay area you are priced out of living less densely. You can of course move away to a more affordable area. And now with remote work being more accepted that is a viable option for white collar workers, definitely not for blue collar though.

But if you have kids, family, friends, in the bay area then that is a difficult decision to say the least.
