Communities (Urban)
There is a reason I love living in a big urban environment. Urban environments [apartments] create more space because they stack homes on top of each other. Apartment complexes equal beauty to me. They cost less to heat, and are much more affordable. Imagine a city without suburbs, in place of the suburbs we place parks, and natural agriculture. Apartments allow us to share. We share our homes and can grow closer to our neighbors.
Apartments = Community = Happiness
We as a society are built upon community/friendship. What we have begun to do is move from the cities we live in, and we have moved into the suburbs. Generally in the suburbs, we tend to forget about our neighbors, we lose community. When we lose that friendship, we lose Happiness. One way we can encourage tighter, happier communities, is to encourage block parties. I believe that block parties bring happiness, and strengthen neighborhoods.
Apartments = Community = Culture
Apartments bring us Culture. Apartments are a mosaic of people living together. You could have neighbors from other countries. Each person has a different story, and apartments encourage all of us to tell our own story. We can share our culture with one another. Our neighbors learn about us, and we can learn about our neighbors.
Lets get back to apartment style living, to rich communities that offer culture, happiness, and friends.

+1KS. I was an army brat growing up and I knew all my fellow brats in all the different military camps we lived in. Then I moved on to university were I lived on campus and knew everyone in my dorm. Then came apartment living in a 9 storey block. I did not know any of my neighbours in my 3 year there. I now live in suburbia where I know all of my neighbours. Nnt sure the whys of this - need to think more about it.

Ya I currently live in a dorm, and I know just about everybody on every floor, maybe it's because I go meet people and talk with them. I wish everybody got a chance to meet their neighbors, it's a great experience.
