I used to live in an apartment then decided to buy a house for reasons such as wanting to have a yard / outdoor space (wanted to buy a big dog among others), leave city life for suburban life for peace & quiet, family-proof (place where I’d want hypothetical kids to grow up in), etc. After experiencing both I prefer house over apartment.
I mean I lived in the suburbs in the US and there was just zero.
So a terrible bus experience is better than literally no option.
Couldn’t walk anywhere, my road connected only to a 55 mph 4 land road with no sidewalk.
