I would think looking at this comment section most individuals on this sub hate cars, but love homes with large driveways and massive streets. To drive the cars we hate?
Mid-density apartment are a thing, maybe 4-6 floors tall.
Though north america apartment design is another issue IMO. North america apartment floor plates are unfortunately not designed for families. When was the last time you saw a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment?
Edit: I should add, when was the last time you saw a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment that cost less then a full size family home in the suburbs.
What, there are lots of 3-4 bedroom apartments lol
I work for a architectural firm, and unfortunately most new high-rise towers, and mid-rise towers, that I see come through my desk prioritize bachelor's pads, 1 bed, 1 + den, or 2 bedroom usually the second bedroom has no window.
It simply comes down to developer cost and north american fire codes. Two exits stairwells minimum and a exit every 45 meters.
This article demonstrates the concept in greater detail.
