Clashing Single Family and Apartments

I have lived in Bothell for all my life (20 years) and as I've gotten more familiar with the layout of the city its become very clear to me how segmented our housing layouts are. Suburban developments in North Creek and Canyon Park sprout up with mini mansions and a very heavy focus on car centric planning. While simultaneously downtown apartment developments like Alexan Mainstreet have acted as a part of the push for a walkable dense Bothell. These 2 ideals of planning have clashed and created a identity crisis for housing in Bothell. Where the city can't seemingly decide what its future focus on housing is going to be. We can't continue having a singular walkable downtown while the surrounding areas are still so car dependent. As the Seattle are continues to density for the increase in population, there must be a consensus that continued construction of single family housing is not compatible with the One Seattle Plan.
