American trads yearns for green walkable town (this, the ideal "christmas town", "small town USA" where kids can bikes to all destinations), yet vigorously fights against its existence in real life.
If this imaginary town got taken over by chuds, they'll widen the road and push the houses away from each other with giant lawns.
For some reason, people want to take vacations in these towns, but never actually live in them. God forbid I don't have enough room to park my family's 6 cars...and who wants a house so close to the street? What if a minority walks past?
In my experience, these places are usually very walkable with ample sidewalks, little to no on-street parking (or metered street parking), and maybe enough driveway/garage space for 2-3 cars total. We may be talking about two different things. The front yards may be small, but usually the backyard is decently sized and there are lots of parks and other recreation areas nearby. Houses will be relatively close to each other (20-30 feet max).

There's no garage for my three pickups, boat, and RV!
60mph speed limit through there because they can't afford to be late driving to their used car dealership workplace 40 miles away
