Keep in mind that having land and space like provided by living in the USA is one of the critical pieces for providing people space for creativity, some of the greatest people and inventions and ideas have come from having this added land and space. From Walt and Roy Disney starting out in their Garage and their first business out of a small loft, to Bill Gates, Google with Larry Page and Sergey Brinn, The Wright Brothers, even Steve Jobs started in his Shed and garage, and over and over again, the list is endless. The more space people have the more room they have to be creative and the more they can expand and create. Look how many people use their land for creating businesses, my friend has a audio recording studio in his home and that is his business, if he had to rent some commercial space it would cost too much to allow him to start up his own business. The world is more than just good city planning, it is about a platform for expanding the human horizon, opportunities and futures and giving people the freedom to shape the world around them even if that is at odds with your city planning world view.
