That is 100% part of our problems with housing, road maintaince and municipal budgeting. We don't have to sprawl just because we have massive amounts of land, we can also build denser cities, transit oriented develolments, and walkable neighbourhoods.

Cities in Europe have managed to build modern neighbourhoods without sprawl, we could too. We need to stop using the excuse "my country/province is too big for transit" when the majority of people travel within their own metropolitan area on a daily basis.
