I would give up a yard if there were a park close by.
It's most important that we can keep the dogs.
Multiple unit housing can also provide companionship as you run into people and share social spaces.

The techniques involved in building multiple residence housing these days are not conducive to privacy. Having the wrong neighbour can be a living hell. I'll never live in a multiple residence building again.
ReplyDeleteHaving the wrong neighbours is always awful.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up in Vancouver, the population was 400,000 (not including other municipalities in Metro Vancouver). It is now 630,000. In the same period, Metro Vancouver's population has more than doubled. Geographically, we have water to the west, mountains to the north and the US border to the south. There is limited space to build more detached homes. Even when I bought my first home in 2000, a detached home was out of reach. I managed to settle for a duplex and had rent out a suite. I don't see a lot of space opening up. Any new space they get from cutting down forests or paving over farms seems to be used for building condos. When it comes land use, building multifamily units seems to be the more efficient use of limited space.
ReplyDeleteWe're open to a townhouse when we move.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in multi-unit housing consecutively since 1982. Like every other comparison, single houses vs. multis is a trade off. The bad neighbors (ooops, neighbours) problem has been offset for me by making friends quickly with the good ones.
