It would be nice if we could see the numbers a bit more clearly... And a lot of this should be obvious, since it costs a lot less to provide utilities and resources to 10 families living in one building than 10 families living in 10 buildings, all 1/4 mile apart. The problem in America is the actual cost of a home doesn't accurately portray how much it actually costs to live there, so people think their big home in the burbs is such a good deal compared to the comparitively tiny urban counterpart, and then they don't know why the suburban municipalities often don't have enough resources to construct improved utilities, public works projects, etc. I recommend reading The End of the Suburbs by Leigh Gallagher if this topic interests you.
