This is completely backwards. Increasing population density means people can afford to live closer to work & resources. Low density means they have to drive 50 miles a day to get anywhere, and thus need more lanes.
Again, this is not a boomer issue. I was told the same thing by Silents. I’ve only moved left-er.
