London average commute time is 38 minutes, quite comparable to 31 minute in Houston. I would argue you get much more spare time while using public transportation too, as well as so much needed walk time.

Houston is 28 minutes. So an average Houston citizen gets 20 more minutes every day. In reality, it's even more because Houston is way better designed for daily chores: buying groceries, getting kids to chess clubs, etc.
It can work out to a whole _hour_ a day of extra time compared to London.
And they will live in FAR FAR FAR better conditions. In their own house, with plenty of space.
So yep, dense cities are a folly and need to be refactored (by demolishing).
