Best of both worlds - condo living! My “ animals” close-by for friendship and help… and not having to mow a lawn or shovel that four letter word - SNOW.

Woohoo! I'm a pro-apartment "living thing"! Hi 5!✋️

Most people here (Singapore) live in apartments, though mostly government built but it is neat. 👍💪🙌

I have become a minimalist, I would love to live in an apartment as small as possible! 🙏😊

I am also like an animal in the zoo and I love it but I wish my landlady allowed actual animals, like dogs.

We are lucky our apartment is cool with it here 😸

Very lucky, most landlords and landladies in the UK wont allow a pet but it's ok, I talk to the dogs I meet on the road.

That is surprising I didn’t know that. People in Oregon have so many Dogs and cats they probably couldn’t rent a place if they didn’t allow it, although homes for rent often forbid it

So much is displayed in your piece about the vagaries of human nature. I’ve lived in both. In this world , unless you have acreage, you gotta get along. Or, as the wise person said, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!😂

like animals in the zoo...except so many apartments don't allow animals...perhaps because animals or more civilized than humans?

I think we have finally found something where we are most certainly DIS-similar.

You're right, there are two types of people. Renters and Owners. I'm an owner. I like the house maintenance, and I come from a line of family who takes pride in making the home better than it was when we purchased it. I hated waiting for a landlord to fix things, and then they would do a half-ass job.

I respect renters. and I am too much of an introvert to live in a place where I share walls with strangers. that's a level of peopling I can't do.

Well, I like apartments... I am with your friend. I understand the appeal of buying, but with amortization and taxes etc. etc. insurance... man! We are considering a condo sometimes, but also like to stay mobile and not spend all our money on a downpayment.
