I hate living in an apartment. I'd probably kill myself if that was the only living option for long enough.

I would prefer a middle ground where you have town homes for more privacy and room for families. Everything is still walkable, you preserved more green space, but everyone isn't crammed into tiny pods.

Assuming the needs of a living space is the same across both populations, this graphic seems disingenuous. The pixel count of the apartment suggests it could fit 6½ of the homes per floor. Across 9 floors that's 58 homes worth of square footage.

I assume the homes have garages, which would not account for living space. But garages don't account for 42% of a homes' size.
