- lumost 3y agoI'm not so certain, I grew up in a (modular) sfh in a nice suburb. My experience with sfh as a child was that it meant being far from any other friends I could interact with. The only time where this wasn't the case was a brief period where I lived in a dense set of homes near a lake. As an adult, I have no love for the lifestyle.
- ryandrake 3y agoMaybe a majority outside of HN, but NIMBYs (and even just people who don't particularly like apartments) are not exactly welcome here on HN, so it's unusual when their comments appear. They are all predictably being downvoted to -4, so it looks like it's temporary. I usually stay out of these discussions because the strong groupthink on this topic tends to keep discussions one-sided.
