Most Americans would rather live in a big house in a car-based community than a small house in a walking-based community. (www.pewresearch.org)

I don't necessarily want a big house but I do want space for a workshop where I can build/fix furniture and such and a garden where I can sit outside and chill by myself. I don't see how I could have those things living in an apartment.

Moot point though. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford a house. Let alone a nice one.

    Why does it have to be 1 or the other in a city? You can absolutely have both in mixed development, add in shops for basic needs as well. Is it going to be as big a a suburban place? No, but you can have a small garden and a garage.

    It's really weird and unnerving seeing American cities and suburbs. They are so badly planned/zoned for actual living, when compared to European countries

    I don't know, I'm not a housing developer. If I could those things and be able to walk to places that'd be dope, but if I have to choose I'm going with the option that gives me the things I want over walkability.
