How is density a virtue?

order

It breeds efficiency and self sufficiency. Less wasted resources on virtually every metric.

Suburbia on the other hand makes us all worse off.

Except living in suburbia is a delight. I appreciate not everyone shares that perspective, but in my view everything from not sharing walls, to quiet streets for kids to ride bikes, to garages large enough for a boat or trailer, to large public parks. I think that's why you're seeing so many presently move in that direction. Densification is great, but for all the people. I lived in the city for ten years. I'll never do it again.

Try making faster CPUs without doing die shrinks.

Expecting perpetual economic growth without densification is equally absurd.
