    I’d rather live in a city or town with mixed use development, walkable neighbourhoods and functional public transport instead of suburbian nightmare pictured in #1.

    There’s also townhouses that are a good compromise between urban density and home ownership/garden usage while still being more energy efficient than standard family homes.

      Your username clearly indicates it is completely pointless for you (or me for that matter) to argue with this guy.

      Bullshit. Townhouses are the epitome of corporate shite. You clearly have never been to a townhouse or have some kinda stake in them.

      Townhouse with zero garden and 3 to 5 where a single house used to be. Done don’t even have parking. All the negatives of a flat without any benefits. Clearly you are a shill for a dystopian nightmare. Do you perchance live in one of these monstrosities? Maybe you’d be happy for the plevs to live in a shanty town but as long as they are separate from your house ?

        It is so weird reading this thread when I live in a flat and have basically non of the issues any of you’re describing. I know it’s a cliche but I honestly think this is just a US vs Europe thing, where mid to high density housing here is actually built to be, you know, good, where as in the US everything is poorly constructed with no amenities so you just think all of those things are intrinsic qualities of that type of housing lol. Kind of sad.

            Right. Well regardless non of the significant problems you have I have experienced so I don’t think they’re intrinsic properties of apartments/flats/high-medium density housing.

                I’m disregarding them because as I say they’re not intrinsic properties of that type of housing. I prefer living where I do now than most of the actual houses I lived in because they had no garden space, but that doesn’t mean intrinsically houses don’t have outside spaces. When people are advocating for more higher density housing they aren’t talking about building them in the worst possible way I don’t think.
