I used to live in an apartment then decided to buy a house for reasons such as wanting to have a yard / outdoor space (wanted to buy a big dog among others), leave city life for suburban life for peace & quiet, family-proof (place where I’d want hypothetical kids to grow up in), etc. After experiencing both I prefer house over apartment.
I never really lived in apartments much and now that I’m thinking about it, they suck. If there’s a fire, there’s no way my fatass would be able to survive.
The only time I lived in Apartments was when I was in Mainland China as a kid, there was no such thing as “Suburbs”, its just all tall building in a densely populated city, or villages that doesn’t have modern plumbing (and probably no internet either). I vaguely remember having to walk up the stairs because there was no elevators in the apartment. It gets very tireing.
Cell signal probably is HORRIBLE if you don’t have a 5G phone, and even if you do, you are gonna have like THOUSANDS of phones all pinging the same tower, so its gonna be very slow.
And when I think about it, if you ever like need an ambulance, that extra delay of getting you to ground level might cost your life.
I don’t like apartments.
