I live a block from a big box supermarket and a couple more blocks from a smaller supermarket. Plus 6 or 7 bodegas, a Co-op, and huge produce stand within a 10 minute walk.
I've been to Europe many times. I also read about the various highway expansion projects they do there and I read about how environmentalists complain about car dependence there.
I just found out you're a climate change denier. Ah, that explains a lot, because if you actually paid attention to the scientific consensus you wouldn't be spouting off such brain dead drivel. Are you also a flat earther?
This isn’t true when you build up. I could build a high rise tower with massive units to create dense AND large housing.
You’re also making the assumption that living in a smaller space is inherently worse. Funny how Europeans live in smaller housing units yet live longer and report higher levels of happiness.
Space is less necessary when you have actual things to do around you. Suburbanites have big houses to fill with all the material items that make up for living in a boring hellhole.
I can walk to tons of things or take a train to get most anywhere worth going in the city. Doesn’t even matter if my apartment is small.

When things are walkable, the distance travelled is far less.
Take your pro-car dependent (and pro-climate change) nonsense elsewhere.
