Disagree. A detached house with yard unlocks room for so many hobbies. Like planting a vegetable garden. Playing instruments or music without pissing off the neighbours. Beekeeping. Woodworking. Backyard astronomy. Backyard BBQ. Bonfires. Etc.
Suburbs themselves are not a dirty word. It’s how some people choose to execute it that is the problem.
Yeah, I agree that detached houses should be an option. But the degree to which they are the option is inane. We (in USAmerica at least) need to be building like a third the detached houses we are and like a hundred times the mid-density housing we are.
Yea, I just want enough ground between myself and my neighbors that I can do noisy shit at odd hours without disturbing them too much and vice versa. I’m more of a night owl and having to sit on my hands for hours while I wait for daylight is annoying.
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
…fake window shutters are f*cking stupid…
I wish the best for those legally compelled by their HOA to maintain a colony of unwanted plants.
Maybe one day sanity will return to their regime and they’ll be able to grow tomatoes and other peasantries like the rest of us.
