Think about both, long and hard. As a bouns, think about whether it's the same in other parts of the world, does it necessarily have to be so, and is it sustainable in the long run.
Yes, because God forbid anyone have any privacy, or space to, I dunno, raise children, or, um, lemme see, GROW FOOD. Clearly, it would be better for everyone if we outlawed the internal combustion engine, and all moved to MegaTokyo, or some other 12-mile high urban leviathan where a billion people are crammed into three square miles; that surely has got to be psychologically healthier and more "sustainable" than anyone ever driving a privately owned car. I know, we'll have two cities, one for the west coast, and one for the east coast, and a constant steam of public busses running between them, departing every three minutes, powered by cow fart collected from giant solar-sail-like deployable ram scoops out on the open road.
