Why not both? Have proper zoning laws in place and suddenly you'll find the balance. Kyoto for example is just amazing.
I don't disagree, doesn't mean they're not ugly.
Density is not height.
They don't have to be ugly. Check this video out. Looks like a jungle resort in some parts. Could you please honestly tell me that a suburb you see looks prettier than this?

Never said suburbs were better, I just think that cities are ugly af when compared to nature. That's all I meant.
Did you watch the video I linked?
I did, and while it's certainly leagues better than somewhere like NYC or Pittsburgh, it's far from what I would consider beautiful. So many samey high rise apartments, gross.
Again, to be clear, not saying Suburbs are the better option, I just hate the way they look
