a house is obviously better retard
but an apartment is more affordable
hence you can typically have a better location in an apartment for the same price
which is why i live in an apartment right now
but when i get my money right i'll be moving to a house because i'm not a bug

A house of course, downstairs I will have my office and above the private apartment.
That only applies for houses made of bricks, concrete and mortar, not cardboard & styrofoam shitboxes like in the usa.

I live in the middle of my city in one of the cheaper apartment complexes and because of this all the people in my block are retired boomers on their death bed. It's an old building with little isolation, so every day, consistently throughout the day, I hear my upstairs neighbour snort his nose really fucking loudly. Every night when I'm in my bed trying to sleep I hear him snort his nose every 15 minutes or so. I've lived here for almost 5 years now, and so has he.

Living in an apartment is just so cheap compared to a house though, practically nothing ever needs to be maintained or fixed, which is why there's so many old people here.

...while I got this ranch home. Never have to go up the steps (as I age), never hear or really even see neighbors, have a huge outdoor space for myself, pets or kids if I manage to find a good woman and don't have to pay HOA fees, mostly do my own maintenence

This is in the Raleigh/Durham area and I am in a good location and minutes walking distance to parks, groceries, gym and downtown. Why do people prefer and pay $150-200K more for these huge townhouses squashed in with neighbors? I felt like I was stealing when I got my house.

A lot of people like living up each others asses for some reason I guess. Plus I guess if they picked the townhouse in Cary or Morrisville or whatever they have a shorter commute to the RTP job in addition to walkability to their nearest shopping center. Plus I think the greenway system is denser near these townhouses, not that most people use them.

House of course. I fucking love my house. The only downside is I refuse to pay a gardener so there's a lot of yard work

You don't need a garage for a car, silly. But yes house is far superior. Idk what kind of midwit would think an apartment is better. Endlessly paying out your income to some kike with little to no benefit rather than owning an asset.

This is the only benefit but it only applies if shlomo honors his end of the deal and actually pays to get things fixed/maintained (he probably won't)

as a single guy apartment, but obviously you want a house if you have a family. the ironic thing is that the rent on the apartment i have now ($1900) is now cheaper than a mortgage on a 300k house and its rent controlled so it can never go up more than 3.25% per year, probably just going to stay here for a long time

One pro to renting, assuming that's what you're talking about; is that you don't get jewed with rising tax costs which will probably rise a lot in the coming years. If shlomo ups your rent to cover tax increases you can simply move

Definitely prefer a flat in a walkable city center area. I love the feeling of being able to go downstairs and be right in the middle of everything, just a short walk to the restaurants, clubs, and cafes.

You just can't get that with a house, the best you can get is some shitty townhouse in a residential district with a 15 minute commute to get anywhere good. I guess it's better than a suburban/country apartment, do country people even have apartments? Lol

There are lots of walkable city centers like this, it's really great and convenient with just an electric scooter I can get anywhere I need to go 95% of the time. No need for expensive cars and traffic

I guess it's smaller than a house but honestly idgaf not a consoomer or hoarder so I don't see why you would need more than 60-80 sq m
