    Your suburb sounds exceptional. As in, the exception to the norm. But as it is the exception, adopting policy decisions on it would be foolish.

    You wouldn’t point to one docile bear and be like “Living among bears is great. Look how friendly he is.”

      Absolutely agree. Adjacent to that is that discussion on this topic should be tighter grained…to allow/avoid for biases everyone involved has.

      Edit to bring it.back from above, sunzu2 said American construction is shit, (paraphrase). It’s simply not true, universally, and speaks to a lack of understanding. (Which isn’t an attack, everyone has lacks of understanding). Many, many homes.in America are of quality construction, and or are on lots with sufficient free space between structures to allow privacy.

      Like I said in another comment, I’m sure it’s the case that European apartments aren’t all Soviet era shoeboxes. I’m sure there’s very nice apartments with reasonable space.
