A single family home can be an apartment. It's a _home_ not necessarily a house. Just like a 600 sqft studio in Manhattan can be a "mansion" because it is over a million dollars.
Many people living in New York rent, with no ability to afford a down payment to own. The maker of wealth is not them.
- Kamq 3y agoGenerally speaking, at least with in realty, a single family home is a term used to mean a specific thing. Specifically, a single-family home has no shared property but is built on its own parcel of land. Additionally it can have no common-walls. So townhomes and apartments do not count. This is also called a detached-home in some places. And based on the context from the earlier post, I'm pretty sure what they meant, but if jfghi comes back and clarifies, I'll withdraw my statement. I don't think anyone thinks renting an apartment is bourgeoisie. However, renting a detached-home in the middle of Manhattan would definitely qualify.
