You realize that not every apartment is a studio in a skyscraper, right?
How is this different from an asshole moving into the house next door?
Houses are fine. The big problem with them is that most are in a boring sprawling soulless suburbia. The most important thing about where you live isn't the physical structure itself but location, location, location.
The other big problem is most places in the US and Canada make it literally illegal to build anything but a detached, single-family house. If houses are really what people want, why are the alternatives literally illegal in most places?
I would say quality archetecture has way more to do with quality of life. I wouldnt say beach bums have a high quality of life and yet "location".
What a silly question. You don't share walls, hallways, mailboxes, front doors, laundry machines, and parking lots with your neighbors when you live in a house. Honestly, have you ever even lived in an apartment?
I've literally never had a problem sharing hallways, mailboxes, front doors, laundry machines and parking lots with people.
The only problem you tend to have with neighbors is noise. And you can easily get that in suburbia as well, particularly if they're throwing noisy late night parties.
