They are talking about the privacy that having your own home detached from neighbors' homes affords. It's wonderful.

Lolwat

Us construction quality is shite... Even Macmansions you hear everything everybody doing with the property.

The wood structure just passes noise through the entire house🤡

Also your neighbors care about who you are in because they can since there is so few people lol

While your every move online is tracked.

How is this different from a row house?

I will admit that living in wood frame construction apartments is degrading though.

But the issue is quality and type of costruction, not the type of housing but suburban trash would never understand these things.

Hey, but let's talk about crime now

What the fuck, such a ridiculous bunch of bullshit. You must have no concept of the massive variety and depth of the massive landscape that makes up the USA.

My house is brick, built about 5 decades ago, I own it along with multiple acres of forested land. I get along with my neighbors fine, and we help each other out occasionally, and we have enough distance and room from each other that I can piss in my yard any hour of any day that I want with privacy. The crime rate here is so low that we have about 1 murder per decade on average. I pretty much do whatever I want all the time here in the USA and I wouldn't trade it to live anywhere else (unless someone paid me millions of dollars to)

So everyone should have acres of land? And drive literally tens or hundreds of miles to buy a gallon of milk? How does that scale?

tens or hundreds of miles to buy a gallon of milk?

Do you seriously think that people are driving HUNDREDS of miles to get necessities?

What about options? I don't want an apartment. I have a modest home on less than a quarter acre of property. My neighbor's house is 16ft from mine. Some people have bigger. Some people like apartments. Just options, you know? Or should everyone need to live in sense, urban areas? And I say this, the town I live in has about 5500 people/square mile, which is pretty dense. If I drive 10m south it's farms. There's a real variety.

So everyone should assume that every comment on Lemmy is an absolute prescription for how every other person should live their life?
