> starting a family in a 2 bedroom condo isn't totally appealing to me. I think the main issue is not the condo itself but where the condo is. From my experience living in an apartment but with walkable area around me and several large parks within walking distance felt very much equivalent in life quality than now living in a house with a garden. If anything large park areas are usually a lot more interesting for kids than your garden. I do think urban planning should incentivize "village" building. For x square meters of construction you must build y square meters of green spaces and z square meters of local commerce. Otherwise you just get Truman show suburbs.
