If they can sell condos like that at 600k there's clearly a huge demand for housing fitting that lifestyle. Not everyone wants to live in a suburban housing development. Some do, and they have plenty of choices where to live. Some do not, and they have far far less choice of where to live.
Indeed, one interpretation of the low prices out in the suburbs is that they are not desireable.
Which makes one wonder, how many people would choose to live in a downtown-like space if we built enough of it?
Hard to find out though, since zoning makes it illegal to build true urban form in most of the city.
