That's interesting. While there are some outliers, there are only really 2 types of "urban" areas I've seen across the US. The single family/town home neighborhood and the apartment/businesses neighborhood. That's pretty broad, of course, but it covers a lot of it. Perhaps if there was more variety things would be better. I still think I'd like to move out of the city, personally, I'm burnt out on people.
Some of the best neighborhoods I've seen/lived in in America have been neighborhoods that were built ~100 years ago when zoning didn't really restrict things. You'd end up with mansions next to smaller homes next to duplexes and apartments. Some of the mansions end up divided into multi-unit housing. A person can be born in the neighborhood, and live their whole life there moving into different housing types as they need to. You can end up with greater social cohesion across age and socioeconomic ranges. If a kid from a working class family grows up in an apartment across the street from a wealthy kid, they will have more social mobility than of they were in segregated neighborhoods.
Yeah its a major problem in the US.
Wanting a bigger, more spread out home is totally reasonable.
Townhomes, for the US.
Wait, I'm stupid and didn't read it all. I'm seeing a pattern of mistakes on my end.
San Francisco has a bunch of mixed stuff.
