What if you buy it? You can buy apartments, you know.
I guarantee 99% of people would want a house on 2 acres thats a 30 minute drive to town than an apartment.
I think that owning a house is also a lot of work, because you’re responsible for everything yourself, including construction and maintenance, and i don’t like that. There’s a proverb: You build the first house for your enemy, the second house for your friend, and the third one for yourself. It says that when you’re young and inexperienced, you don’t know what to look out for when you build a house. So you might build rooms without proper ventilation, and that makes mold grow. You might build the garage in the wrong dimensions, because you don’t know better. You might mess up the room layout or their sizes. When you buy an apartment built by the city, you can have a reasonable expectation that they’ve built 10000 apartment units before and know what they’re doing. With private construction companies, i’m reasonably worried about being ripped off or fucked with. I trust public housing much more than private construction companies.
On top of that if i live in the city, i don’t even need a garage, nor a car. It’s all very efficient and compact.
I know you can buy apartments, but its a joke to me. If you dont own the land its on, thats as worthless as renting.
I can see your take on liking things already done for you. Im someone who likes doing it the hard way and doing things myself. Maybe when im really old then it’d be fine to let others do things. Ive just always preferred to do anything i can myself, and if I really cant, then ill call a pro, like for gas line work. Electrical, I do myself just fine.
Ive heard many many more complaints about apartments and terrible landlords and awful appliances than I have from a homeowner because you can fix shit yourself.
Also, garages can be for a lot more than just car stuff. Workshop, band space, hangout space, etc.
