Not everyone, but certainly enough that the demand for new builds can't be met on green- or brown-field sites within the Greenbelt.

Even if everyone did want to live in a detached house, I've done the calculations and found that if every suburban wide lot inside the Greenbelt was subdivided for another detached or semi-detached house, you could accommodate another quarter million people.

Well, then; get right on that subdividing then.
I'm all for it, and it should be both permitted and encouraged, but the natural rate of such subdivision isn't enough to meet the demand for new builds.
