Because building a city without adequate leisure facilities makes it less enjoyable to live there?
Why not increase FAR for sites yet to be built so that we have land available to build a city with facilities for the people to use and enjoy? Stuffing housing on every square metre isn't necessarily the best outcome.
Then, perhaps if we weren't bringing in new population as quickly as possible, builders could catch up and increase housing supply so that we could ease out of the housing crisis and maybe even pricing could drop due to less demand and more supply... but that's another story.
