I'm pretty sure much of the world disagrees with that assessment. Lots 30s and 40 somethings with children and lots of older people living in walkable cities.

The problem in the USA is that there's very little of this style of living. It's all tract housing and suburban style apartment complexes and almost no walkable cities. I'd be nice to have more of them since we already have plenty of suburbs and traffic.
- refurb 3y agoFor a lot of the world that’s the only affordable housing. Single family homes are just out of reach financially. I know in Asian, many (but not all) of the people I know in apartments would love a house but can’t afford it.
- ryandrake 3y agoI agree. Different people like different environments and living arrangements. One size does not fit all. Personally, I like suburban single family home living, and I would never go back to dense urban apartment living unless I was forced to at gunpoint. Options are good.
