"I absolutely believe in choice," said Wendy Danks, director of marketing for the Builders Association of the Twin Cities. And she thinks consumers will choose to buy what they have bought in the past. The advantages of single-family homes -- good prices, good schools, family-friendly yards -- will continue to attract buyers, she said.Do we really have a choice? I don't think so because the price of urban housing is nowhere near the cheap price of sprawl. This needs to change, and it needs to start with these Builders Associations realizing that they are part of the problem, actually believing there is a choice.

You mean people don't want to pay more to be able to hear other people flush the toilet? Shocking.
@Anonymous: most multi-family dwellings are not so poorly built, and no attached single-family ones are.
Yards? Practically nobody wants yards. Delusional!
Most people I know pick home locations based on school districting (seriously). After that, they count bedrooms. After that, they look at work location. Only then do they start thinking about multifamily vs. single-family. And they *never* want yards.
