I think you are right. We are shaped by our environments more than we probably assume. Sprawl has downsides beyond aesthetics and traffic congestion. It is an interesting thought that Europe might be more progressive than the US due to population density. If you know your neighbors, chances are you'll better empathize with them. No doubt you can see the trend in Red states and Blue states in the US. Perhaps the Democrats should make urban renewal a top priority.
