that comes with condensation sadly. Most of the apartments around those "patios" are probably smaller than this couple's garage.

A garage they don't need because they can walk wherever.

Uh... so you're not defending it, are you against garages? Or are you trying to say you'd rather have a garage than a 10m^2 apartment? And what do you mean by "comes with condensation"?

i don't need a garage, i'm a cyclist. Can't i choose neither?

And what do you mean by "comes with condensation"?

"condensed: Highly concentrated, or packed into a small space."

All cities are like that. Property prices and such.

There are of course larger properties further from the centre. Munich is large enough to have a metro system, so you can still live in a big house and go to the centre without having to drive, find parking and walk from there.

my comment was based on the crumpled lives of many Parisian apartments. I don't know what people get by downVoting as it is the reality.

I'm not here to defend car based suburban life. I would just like to see the couple in the video visit some of the apartments around those patios.

Unless you're rich enough to buy an entire floor, you will lack space. Walkability comes with different kinds of prices.
