It's an issue of cost and density.
This is like saying "why don't people build apartments in the suburbs"
... why don't they? Europe goes from skyscrapers to block of flats to apartments in the suburbs and very few houses on the very outskirts. The US seems to go skyscraper - single family house
Because the entire US has a "missing middle" and a suburb problem brought on by big corporations. You get into you car, burn gas for 20 minutes to go to their 1 super mega everything mall. They also banned the idea of having local store in a "residential area" to force you to go to the everything store.
that explains why suburbs are bad, not why apartments wouldn't work there
Not sure where you got "appartments wouldn't work there".
The entire video is about the missing middle, the midrises /appartments missing between the suburbs and the city. As pointed out in the video, the missing middle comes from the fact it's illegal to build midrises in most "residential areas"
I see plenty of apartments in the suburbs. It all has to do with zoning laws.
Why dont they lol
