You can achieve a very high quality of life if you are willing to waste resources. See private jets for an example.
If we want to preserve nature, we need to live denser than the large detached single family homes pictured.
However, row houses with a coop garden is probably a good compromise where people don't have upstairs neighbors, and can grow things for fun. But you aren't taking up a ton of space.
I don't disagree. That actually sounds good to me. I'm just saying on a mass scale, most people don't want to do the apartment thing.
I'd also rather not have to go up and down a million levels every time I leave home.
I've never lived in an apartment, so I don't personally know the struggle of upstairs or downstairs neighbors.
I've only ever lived in 2 different houses when growing up, and then me and a few friends rented out another friend's house when they moved out of town.
So that's a pretty awesome situation, plus being able to smoke weed inside just by going down to the laundry room and almost always having at least one person around to smoke with is great.
But I'm used to having houses close by, so moving to row houses with a garden sounds perfect, especially if we can grow our own weed in said garden 😂.
