and having to drive everywhere for the simplest of errands

You say that as if most people lived in cities that didn't require driving for every simple errand, whether they lived in a house or apartment. Good on you if you live in a walkable city, but you're the exception.

If your paying 550k for a 1 bedroom you better be living in a walkable city.
