What would be great would be not building single family homes at all
No thanks. I mean I'm firmly in the build more apartments crowd but I want to own my own place with a yard.
I believe the term for that is NIMBY.
I believe the term is preference. I prefer to own a home. I don't mind being neighbors with an apartment.
Yeah, no. I never want to hear my neighbor through a common wall or ceiling.
There is sound dampening to avoid that
I have never, in my life, seen an apartment or condo with that level of stc or iic rating, much less one installed correctly. The only place I’ve been in with that kind of treatment is a SCIF for TS/SCI functions and you could build a whole good damned single family house for that kind of money.
Yes! Cram everyone in apartments! People living on all sides is the dream! Who could possibly want land or space between them and neighbors!? Eliminate choice, push everyone into a box.
Um, did you forget that duplexes and town-homes exist?
Still not space or land
This, but unironically.
