The rest of your list is good, but I don't agree with this at all. American cities need less sprawl, not more. Denser cities need less infrastructure, which means less stuff to maintain and have to rebuild as it ages.
IMO we should strive to make it so that living far from cities is what is expensive, not in them. I know not everyone prefers that, but it's by far more sustainable, economically.
