Suburbia is overrated for families “soccer moms” exist because otherwise the experience for kids is being under house arrest until you get your car.

In denser countries you can take public transit/ walk yourself to places you wont to go long before you get a drivers license.

Living in a 3 bedroom apartment is a luxurious experience in much of the world and preferable to homelessness or extreme precarity, imo. 3 bedrooms doesn't have to mean cramped and miserable, it only means that right now because we don't build enough and landlords in cities frequently split up 1 or 2 bedroom apartments into 3 with architectural slight of hand (or just by lying).

What do you mean by the experience of those living in it? The experience of living in a 3-bedroom apartment in the middle of a walkable and lively city is pretty comfortable.
