Thank you for explaining why suburbs suck. Also, the mass of people flooding an area all at once is just a niceness.

I would think looking at this comment section most individuals on this sub hate cars, but love homes with large driveways and massive streets. To drive the cars we hate?

Mid-density apartment are a thing, maybe 4-6 floors tall.

Though north america apartment design is another issue IMO. North america apartment floor plates are unfortunately not designed for families. When was the last time you saw a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment?

Edit: I should add, when was the last time you saw a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment that cost less then a full size family home in the suburbs.

I'd rather live in my own few acres of forest with a creek running through it and a big house.

Diversity is good. Different types of homes and zoning. Mix of nature and buildings

What if we put an apartment complex and use the rest as a race track ?

It also saves farmland something rural people tend to care about.

Give me a European style apartment with high ceilings and generous space and you have yourselves a deal!

That said, I've been working in my local building industry for almost 20 years and the trend that I see is that though there are more apartments being built, the quality has tanked. We have huge issues with mould, flammable facades, exploding glass, alternatives are rampant through the roof and price gouging.

Unfortunately this has fed the idea that apartment living is no good.
