some people rent houses, so no attachment issues there.. and some people own condos that are attached to other condos--so even being an owner can mean being attached to an unfavorable neighbor...
Yeah...lots of people rent houses, or here in my county commonly called trailers, mobile homes, etc. They’re mostly Section 8.
I’ve lived in both - apartments, rented homes, etc. and they were always TRANSITIONAL. On the way to better things.
The only positive thing about an apartment in my book is not having to do yardwork. But you pay a high price for that.
