Do you not have apartment complexes where you live? You can easily hit that number in your building ALONE depending on how many units there are. Then you have buildings around you because apartments aren’t just a one off.
Let’s say you live on a city block with 8 houses on each side and there’s an average of 2 people living in each house, that’s still 32 people.
Yeah of course. I just don’t think there’s anything wrong with having 30 neighbors. He said it like it was some kind of unfathomable impossibility that someone could have 30 neighbors and still be happy.
The times I was living in an apartment complex were worse by far than living in a house. Because having neighbors that share walls is always worse. Made even worse if you work night shift.
I personally read it differently. I read it as not everyone lives in a city, or wants to, and so people shouldn’t pressure others to do that (for mass transit) just so we can get rid of cars.

I see where you’re coming from.

I agree yeah. Which is why the end of the post felt so weird. It veered away from the point I liked.
