Do you have kids yet? I lived in such cities from when I left home at 17 until 36, but the arrival of kids... well, I want them to have a yard to play in, in a chilled neighbourhood, close to the beach and hikes, etc.
As well as more room so they can all have their own bedroom, we can have a family area, etc.
When they leave the house, I’d probably move back to the city to an apartment.
In essence, I’m agreeing with you but I think it also depends which life stage you are in as to what you prefer.
- ebikelaw 8y agoIf you took half a dozen normal-sized detached American houses and their yards, put all the houses right next to each other and all the land in a contiguous polygon, you'd have a way better place for all the children to play, just as much interior space, and a dramatically better place to be. Detached single-family homes fragment the open space and alienate people, which are not good things for growing children.
