Basically i've always had a personal hatred for single-family homes. I grew up in one, and i hated it. My parents moved into the middle of freaking nowhere when i was born, the neighborhood was dull, it was somewhere in the countryside, you couldn't go anywhere without driving a car, my mother was always angry and tired and refused to drive me 90% of the time, and when she did drive me, annoyances always happened (like, i'd say to a friend i'd meet them at 3pm, and it's a 10 minute drive, and we start driving at 2:40pm, and then my mother remembers she has to go grocery shopping first, which takes 45 minutes, and she does that before dropping me off at my friend's place, stuff like that). It was frustrating.
In the countryside, you're dependent on fossil fuels. You're dependent on putting that transparent fluid in your car's tank day-after-day, which i suspect is a method of mind-controlling the people, because it makes the people feel dependent on some kind of infrastructure (gas station) that they don't understand. I mean, where does petroleum come from? have you ever seen it produced? the people can't produce it locally, so they're dependent on the government's goodwill that it continues to be provided to them.
if the people had solar panels, a whole lot of things would be less shit. people would feel somewhat more self-reliant, being able to produce their own energy and all, and i guess that would improve people's self-esteem a lot.
anyways, i've always had a very hatred of the single-family home. it has 1000 m³, of which you realistically need about 300 for 4 people, for a kitchen, a toilet, a shower, and beds. the extra room is to brag to your neighbors ("what would the neighbors think if we were poor!") and mostly to cause yourself a lot of stress while you're trying to clean that whole space, while you could instead just chill and relax. but i guess relaxing means that you have to face your inner emotions, and we can't have that! (according to the people i've met)
Funny because I have the exact opposite experience.
Most of my life I've lived in a tiny apartment, so tiny that I literally can't keep my room cleared because have no space to store my stuff.
Yes, I can literally walk to the nearest, coffee place, or take a subway to the mall or cinema or whatever people usually like to go, but I have no interest in those places, instead I would love to live in a rural place where I can walk along nature or just rest outside without being right in the middle of people and traffic and ugly buildings.
Oh, and the worse part, my new neighbors that don't let me blast my guitar amp or listen to music past 10
Yeah, that's just absolute bullshit. What the fuck.
