I'm not a dog owner, so can't comment on dogs and socialization with neighbours/others.
As soon as the term "densify" is mentioned, some people used to lots of land around them to separate themselves from others, they just turn off their ears. I honestly do believe that many people in North America, haven't quite experienced at all, what it means to live in neighbourhoods where it's close to transit, walking to shops and restaurants. If one has been brought up in a household that was car dependent, then that's what alot of people base their preferred housing choices.
And if people don't bike as transportation, they don't even know what to look for in cycling infrastructure in their own community area.
I was shocked to learn that some places in our area are priced over $800,000...and the only way I can see why: it's part of a bigger trend that in our city which is mirroring Vancouver, Toronto...if you want a big condo, townhouse with a park greenbelt, waterfront view.
