55% of Americans say they would prefer to live in a community where houses are larger and farther away from amenities – compared to 44% who say the opposite.
I don’t necessarily want a big house but I do want space for a workshop where I can build/fix furniture and such and a garden where I can sit outside and chill by myself. I don’t see how I could have those things living in an apartment.
Moot point though. I doubt I’ll ever be able to afford a house. Let alone a nice one.
Why does it have to be 1 or the other in a city? You can absolutely have both in mixed development, add in shops for basic needs as well. Is it going to be as big a a suburban place? No, but you can have a small garden and a garage.
It’s really weird and unnerving seeing American cities and suburbs. They are so badly planned/zoned for actual living, when compared to European countries
I don’t know, I’m not a housing developer. If I could those things and be able to walk to places that’d be dope, but if I have to choose I’m going with the option that gives me the things I want over walkability.

Most US folks may not believe it, but South American cities are also much nicer to live in than US cities.
