Yes, but having slight density, where single family houses are 10 feet apart does not create the environment your talking about.  For that, you need 5+ story buildings and you need to build the city in a way that supports walkability - which is not how 99% of america is built.<p>We do want some Densely populated city areas that allow for walkable neighborhoods.<p>But,If we&#x27;re going to have non-walkable suburbs we should definately have some space around our houses and not crowd them up together when there&#x27;s space in every direction you look.
