    You guys really do build giant soulless houses in empty suburbs and think that living in an apartment is a crime against humanity

      Because living surrounded by lifeless cement is crime against humanity. People need home, not voluntary prisons.

          You can have houses without sprawl.

          Both apartments and houses have their merit, both can exist as a viable shelter that fulfills people’s needs. We don’t need to argue over which things corporations and greed took from us is better.
