I hate living in an apartment. I'd probably kill myself if that was the only living option for long enough.

Assuming the needs of a living space is the same across both populations, this graphic seems disingenuous. The pixel count of the apartment suggests it could fit 6½ of the homes per floor. Across 9 floors that's 58 homes worth of square footage.

I assume the homes have garages, which would not account for living space. But garages don't account for 42% of a homes' size.

I would prefer a middle ground where you have town homes for more privacy and room for families. Everything is still walkable, you preserved more green space, but everyone isn't crammed into tiny pods.
