I agree that my comment might have been a bit hyperbolic. I don't mean to imply that homeowners are one dimensional characters with a single motivation. But also I can't help but notice that most of the quality of life objections you noted - noise, traffic, overcrowding etc - boil down to this: Their issue is people. They don't want to live with too many people. I think its fair to say that that doesn't reflect very positively on their character either.

Who are you to judge the character of others? Wanting some space and privacy doesn't make someone a misanthrope.

From where I'm sitting, people that want to live with a lot of other people doesn't reflect well on their character. How about this home: https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Jose/468-Carpentier-Way-95111/home/898449 https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Jose/468-Carpentier-Way-95111/... 2 bedrooms - you're definitely surrounded by people. In an apartment I owned in the bay area I heard screaming on both sides of me. Random times. Real fun. So if you want to live with people, there ARE reasonably priced solutions.
