Most of the US has spent the past half-centry actively making new high-density construction illegal or incredibly expensive, so everything is operating within the bounds of 1970s-80s construction being reused over and over again because it was grandfathered in.

And the US cities resisted the urbanism blight for longer than Europe thanks to a much better design.
And Europe is now paying price for its density obsession. You see it as a rising tide of far-right movements in Europe.
