Nobody wants to live there, it's too crowded and there's too much demand for housing! Oh wait, that makes no sense.

YES it does, JOBS!
You are required to live there, its not a choice.
It's a very US-centric perspective to assume that density = cities.
Almost every town in the US, at one point, was dense enough to support a vibrant main street. Many (most?) of them even had tram lines and other forms of public transportation.
It's not an either or proposition. You can have cost-effective infrastructure through relative density without having to deal with all of the trappings - good and bad - that come from a city.
