But yes, living spacious with a private garden and not to close to your neighbors is very nice. I would love to have both.
- cyberax 3y ago> It takes up space And? > it requires a lot more energy This is the _only_ problem, and it's being solved by switching to EVs. They are more effective than buses and are competitive with rail. And the household energy use can be offset by solar energy (individual houses are great for it!). > and it makes using healthier transportation like walking and cycling a lot more difficult. I can get my 10k a day steps in a nice sprawl with shady tree lanes much easier than in Manhattan.
