the problem seems to be when people take "apartment life isn't for me" and then go to the conclusion of "they shouldn't build apartments for anybody"

you don't have to live in one. just let people build them. only allowing single family homes doesn't make single family homes more accessible for anybody, it just makes land more scarce and housing less affordable all around.

This meme is advocating it as the only option

Of course. Everyone can live in an apartment if they wish. I will be the one with the house at a reasonable distance.
