Houses are pretty great for a few factors

• Not sharing a wall with a neighbor
• being able to be louder in general
• Not being woken up by neighbors
• Not getting your home infested with bugs because of having a nasty neighbor
• No loud honking at night
• Not having your door accidentally knocked on to ask if your apartment neighbor is home when they’re not answering their door
• Parking in your own garage
• Having a yard for your dog/kids to play in

Apartments fucking suck in so many ways. I get that they’re pretty handy in City Skylines where everyone bases their urban planning experience from but there is a reason people prefer to live in house and it’s because it gives you separation from other people in a way apartments cannot.
