I don't think this is true.
You can own an apartment
Density has a number of benefits. More cultural output, less isolation, it doesn't feel like a post apocalypse scene when you go outside.
This is satire, right? Poe's law is real.
Foot traffic is good for businesses and neighborhoods. Car traffic much less so
Public transit is often faster. Plus I can do many more things on the train than I can while driving (reading, games, some kinds of work, etc)
Car based transit introduces many delays.
Your post is a joke right? I can't tell.
I was gonna respond to them but honestly, I couldn't even begin to think of where. That comment was so wrong on so many levels.
Just the simple fact that someone would unironically say that you can't own a condo is just wild to me, let alone the rest.
You don't own a condo. In a condo, there is generally no individual ownership of land; the unit owners jointly own the land and building exteriors. Each unit owner has rights only to the unit's interior space. All other spaces are controlled by the condo owners' association.
It's so wild that you're so uneducated, and so confident all at the same time. You're not taking reality for what it is, instead you've reached a conclusion - and then you work backwards to justify that conclusion, even to the point of deluding yourself into thinking something is one way, when it clearly isn't; and then mocking someone for correcting you.
Peak Lemmy right here folks.
Being co-owner does mean you own it. It is a form of owning that is perfectly acceptable to me. I would gladly own a condo if I could afford it. I don't need to own the land my property is on to consider myself a homeowner.
