Sounds like a literal nightmare to me. No garden to enjoy. No vegetables. No privacy. No ability to get solar panels.
No room for improvement. Basement second levels. Changing plumbing windows etc. No ability to charge your ev.
Fuck is this some corporate bullshit
As someone who's lived in apartments since birth:
A lot of apartments in Europe have a communal garden, or you can simply rent a plot of garden nearby for larger projects, or use your balcony for small things like herbs.
Idk what you mean with plumbing windows/basement second levels but there would be an underground garage where you can charge your EV
You also don't rely as much on solar panels because apartments are already so much more energy efficient. They are cooler in summer and warmer in winter
So buy more land and it's potentially a distance from your house. Communal gardens are good in theory but in practice they are far harder than just having a garden with a nice wee raised bed. Need some lettuce pop outside and get it. Unlikely you'll bus/walk drive to the communal to grab a few leaves of something.
There wouldn't be no. Maybe in more modern builds but all the flats I've rented have been 100s of years old. No ability to change interior and no luxury parking garage. Barely any parking.
If you own a house you can do what you want with it. Want to build a basement, crack on. Want to get double glazing, put in grey water. Sure. Can't do shit in a building without building getting involved.
Fuck knows where you've live but no. Maybe modern ones are but old ones are freezing in winter, poorly insulated and hod awful in summer.
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.
Hä was hat mein Username damit zu tun? :D Aber ja der Typ ist komplett durchgeknallt:D
Du bist offenbar aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum und damit fast sicher aus einer zivilisierten Gegend.
What's the username mean?
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.
Don't live in either Europe or America but sure.
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.
Kool. So because they don't affect you. Disregard them. Sounds like a plan Stan.
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.
True.
