> We have too much space relative to our population

If you're arguing that there's an abundance of space, this is true in many countries (and was certainly true prior to the Federal-Aid Highway Act or Levittown).

> We have too much space relative to our population and our cultural focus on individualism mean that people will always prefer single family homes

Why? There are plenty of locales in the US where this very much isn't the case.

> Those cant exist without cars and people with cars need to be able to commute.

If we're simply talking about the average daily commute for the average person, why? There are still plenty of cities in the US that have effective public transportation.
