I agree with you, but it is an unpopular opinion here. Many commenters either fancy themselves to be city planners or take a "tragedy of the commons" view of infrastructure. The latter is not wrong ... but it doesn't mean we all want to live in stacked boxes.
I think a plurality of people here are single and young and can’t possibly imagine not living in a city with all the social advantages and lifestyle perks being in one has. I did too when I was younger.
But you quickly find there are better options when you want certain things and have options.
Amusingly the unpopularity is almost universally originating from the same young white upper middle class suburb childhood people. Something pathological about rejecting their parents lifestyle rather than anythign to do with urban planning.
Private transit is universally superior to public transit, which is why the take rate of the former to latter correlated with things like income.
