No it’s missing the best part. The outdoors and having a huge backyard. You can’t have any hobbies like woodworking, metalworking, gardening/farming, animal husbandry etc. in that setup.

You're basically saying "we need SFH so that rich people can have room for all of their hobbies. Screw anyone else that wants to live in density!"

That's not helpful and it's woefully ignorant of people's opinions.

None of those are rich people hobbies.

Cities subsidizing maker spaces would solve the wood/metal workign part of this well, and I live in a pretty dense part of the city that has a community garden down the street.

Shared spaces are not for me. I’d much rather have my own workshop where I don’t have to share. That’s the beauty of the American lifestyle, you don’t have to share. Your home is your castle.
