An apartment in the suburbs of Nowhere, Texas? Agreed. An apartment in the middle of a beautiful, historic downtown city center that has been developing for hundreds of years? I could give the car up.
That's not going to solve it for me, unfortunately. I really value privacy, personal space, and quiet. If I were surrounded on all sides by other families I assume I would leap from the window in like 10 seconds.
