Do car sharing allow dogs ? Babies that spit up or require changing? No. No they don't. All for a car less future but that's not now.
I want a garden I can sit out in when I'm working from home. Do you understand dogs ? Children? Don't want have to trapes down tona local park with other people. Wanna sit outside in my garden with my trees plants and whatever with my tits out.
Privacy in my own space to play music and chill the fuck out. Not a local park, especially ones that are closed when events are on. Nope. No thanks.
Literally never seen a community garden working. In theory sure, in real life. Not a chance. As above.
Privacy isn't just noise. It's actually not having people inside your home. So you can play music or whatever and a person doesn't complain. Not taking a shit. Walking about topless or naked without people all around you.
A balcony solar panel will power fuck all. Maybe a few hours as the sun hits just right and then what ? You are entitled to your opinion as am I.
You seem to be living in a utopia which would makes this apartment vs home moot.
I use car sharing primarily for cargo (vans). I don't know much about the life with children, but I see plenty of parents with young children in public transport.
Maybe I didn't explain it right. This is what I meant. Those come in very different sizes, structures and rules (In some you can even live, but not register). It is mostly possible to install or grow visual protection.
It is possible to install energy storage, but yes, a single balcony is unlikely to have more than 1kWp. I don't have a balcony, but I'd install a balcony PV, if I had one. Apartments are more energy efficient, but not that much.
I'm mostly nude when I'm home, so I get wanting to be have a space to be free outside. For all I know, visual protection clashes with many HOAs, or not?
Apartment neighbours probably see and hear each other less than suburbanites, depending on the age of the building and its inhabitants.
Not hearing or seeing other people even when you go onto the street is a bit of a rich request. Maybe I didn't understand.
oof. No. No.
Yes there are plenty parents that use public transportation. Now I don't have any. Point blank. Zero. So how does that work ? Public transportation is the future but currently it takes you to a few places. If you aren't going there then you're screwed.
Yup I know what am allotment is. My argument was that they aren't near you. They are away where homes aren't. Do you need to commute to them. You can't really walk with compost seedlings plants equipment. Also depends on distance. Great idea but complicated in real world situations.
Pv on a balcony will generate heehaw. A single cell what 400 watt array. Can only be used when sun hits it just right. Great idea to charge a phone or something but bugger all else.
Fuck hoas. Nothing else to add to that. I see no one where I live. Pleasant. Very much enjoy the solitude and not dealing with people standing outside my house. Especially with my nudity dog and working from home.
But alas life aye.
