There are hundreds of millions if not billions of people happily doing this.
Let me be clear - I'm responding to a post about "Skyscrapers" in the Bay Area, which is a poorly defined term but if you say its 10 stories how many residential buildings of more that 10 stories do you believe exist in SF? I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life and literally zero people who have raised a family in a "Skyscraper" or high rise. New York is the only city I'm aware of where this is a common occurrence but even in those communities raising a family in a High-Rise is a sign of wealth.
There are not hundreds of millions of people raising families in Skyscrapers and high rises, there's likely not even enough inventory in those types of buildings for that statement to event make sense.
- renewiltord 5y agoFor the “in the US” section, you’re probably right. Perhaps he’s from abroad. I was raised in a superblock-style neighborhood. Lived on the 6th floor (which would be the 7th to Americans)! Honestly, only the mid wealthy lived in non-flats. Everyone else had a flat.
