What they have now is a nice balance of livability and density, and they still preserve tons of nature. If places like Atlanta or Houston had Japanese style zoning, their sprawl would be a fraction of the size it is now. And not everyone in those cities lives in a house, anyway, theres shit tons of shitty suburban apartments scattered around the metro, pic very related
