" I question the notion that people always want to live in low density area.

Ah, this is even *more* the "American Dream" than owning a car.  It is
somehow considered a "right" to own a home, and in many communities
renters are actually looked down on as being shady.  Some people won't
even buy a home in an area with a large number of renters because they
believe that renters are poor neighbors.

All that said, people will go to great lengths (and we're talking the
length from SF to Manteca) to be able to buy a home with a front and back
yard, 3 bedrooms, and a garage.  They'd rather spend 4 hours on the road
each day commuting than buy in a high density area.

Well, SF does still have a buying boom going on, but overall, it's a drop
in the bucket compared with the number of detached family homes being
bought in the suburbs and beyond.
