I agree with you, we need to add density to our existing suburbs not continue the sprawl.

The video I linked to shows how this is possible, and how Toronto street car suburbs already have the same comparable density to Europe cities like Amsterdam. Or three times the density of what's built now.

Transforming a typical single family home "american suburb" into a street car suburb will be challenging for sure.

The first step is having people realize there is more then two types of locations to live. It's not just a choice between "the city" and "the suburbs" or a single family home and a condo.

There are plenty of different other styles of communities. Toronto even has a fully car free residential neighborhood (the only one in North America) located on center island. Completely pedestrian oriented.
