Depends on where in Europe. There is a lot of wood construction in Scandinavia and the Baltic countries. The Netherlands, for instance, uses a lot of brick (for facades, and sand-lime bricks on the inside). Places near the Mediterranean, often use thick stone walls and/or concrete.
When a grocery store is very nearby and you go to the grocery store, you can get your produce fresher. And you don't have to plan your meals, which may or may not be a positive side (it is for me).

Check out this Canadian talking about his grocery trip in Amsterdam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYHTzqHIngk.

You say that as if there are no dense cities in places that have a similar climate as Houston. What about Taipei, for instance?

Houston has a July average high temperature of 34,7 degrees C with an average relative humidity of 74,4. The same data for Taipei is 34,3 degrees C with a humidity of 73.

Yet Houston has a population density of 1398,76/km2 whereas Taipei 9700/km2, almost 7 times as high.

Data from Wikipedia.

Actually, perhaps this map says it best: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tkoekp0or12ppjc/Screenshot%202020-...

(If anything, building densely can create a lot of shade, which can be quite beneficial.)

Just FYI it seems like the Netherlands is missing from the list of countries in your signup thing.

How do you handle clients updating the site? Because in my experience, people don't want to learn markdown.

As an urban design graduate, those seem like the least glaring misses...
