VERY low-density development = everything is VERY far from everything else. Does it not make a lot more sense to focus everything within a circle of 5mile radius so there would be practically no use for cars? (only bikes, fixed)
Low density also means that you don't achieve the critical mass to use centralised heat and power systems etc making the whole thing very "unsustainable"...and it also means that people interact less with each other, affecting the sense of community affecting the sense of ownership etc etc etc...
sorry - i forgot, this isn't an urban design forum.
