I don't think it's a choice between one and the other.

First, the goal isn't to make an endless sea of identical skyscrapers. It's to make a blend of large and medium ones with rowhouses and duplexes mixed in, and then use the space that creates to make big, expansive parks and natural spaces for everyone. And if you want to start a commune, now there is a lot more space for communal, rustic living much closer to major cultural and transit hubs.
