Increasing density is anti-family. People with kids don't want to live in friggin' condos. Condos are for people who don't have children. [/quote]

No, [i]you[/i] don't want to live in a condo with kids. That doesn't mean no one does. Condos in neighborhoods with good public schools could be for people with children who don't have the money to buy a house there.[/quote]

Oh, I see. So no single people in their 20s want to live in Tenleytown? But parents are totally cool with condos? Right. Get back to us when you have kids.  [/quote]

As the PP says: some parents are fine with living in condos. Some parents are even fine living in rental apartments! Not everyone has the same preferences as you.

-a parent who knows plenty of people who live in condos/apartments with kids[/quote]

Similarly, some people are totally fine with having three-hour commutes to work. They like all that time on the road because it gives them a chance to catch up on their podcasts. But those people -- like these people with children who supposedly like living in condos -- are the weird outliers.

I have children and I have never *ever* met any parent who didnt wish they had more space. [/quote]
