I'm a fan of density myself. I think the world and the people would be better off if we did build up instead of out. I live in a very densely populated area and I think I have a better quality of life than the people out in the 'burbs with their big yards. But maybe other people really like mowing or something.

Hi-pop areas have their advantages but I think that they also bring out the worst in people. I think that, as a survival mechanism, people in hi-pop zones tend to dehumanize those around them. It's too much stress (for many) to have honest human interactions with that many people on a constant basis, and the relationships that get built (generally) aren't normal/natural/healthy ones. To each their own but I can barely stand to spend substantial parts of my day in crowds.
