[quote=Anonymous]Most people in North America grew up in a detached house and can't imagine living in anything less than a two-story one basement house. They confuse their desires to keep that lifestyle with need. As long as a building has proper soundproofing and enough rooms for privacy then a condo is a perfectly suitable dwelling to live in and to raise children if you're interested in that. A house makes it easier to host parties and might have a backyard so there's less need to visit the park or a playground like people living in condos do. However, the advantage that a house might have is often far outweighed by its high price and long distance from work as you have noticed.

Houses are amazing when you have the money, but I'd be skeptical of someone's judgement if they took a mortgage of hundreds of thousands of dollars that they can't comfortably pay just to have a bit more space. I suspect that the people making comments about your situation are completely out of touch about housing prices, or overpaid for a house and as a result have a lower standard of living which they want to validate by making you feel you were the one to make the wrong choices.[/quote]
