When we lived in an apartment someone set off the fire alarm several times a week, sometimes at 3am which is a shitty way and time to awaken. Never want to live in one again

Only if the apartment has very strict noise and smoking rules that are actually enforced.
Noise separation is pretty easy to design into a building. Air separation is possible but would require design that no one bothers with, as far as I know.

Had an apartment. Guy's girlfriend upstairs smoked. His apartment caught on fire when she fell asleep smoking in bed. Guess where the water goes when the fire department put out the fire. And that's not just water, it's water mixed with toxic soot. No more apartment.

As long as I can live in a hollow under a tree far away from the apartment building, okay.
But if not then I’ll just walk into the ocean because that’s still too damn many people.
Really good framing of it
Take a look at the UK on Google Maps.
Pretty green, right? Plenty of space to expand those towns and cities.
Zoom in. It's pretty much all farmland. There's precious little nature in that.
Density isn't going to save nature. Having fewer people and sustainable farming will save nature. Density is useful for having things like efficient public transport, and reducing the need to have a car. It also localises noise, and I feel we don't value quiet enough.
