What if we took the space constraints of apartment living and subtracted all economies of scale from compact building?

The sad part is I want a small space. But I also want a big yard to grow things and to live in the woods away from people.

So what you want is an apartment with community gardens, maybe rooftop gardens and/or a multi-tier greenhouse interior for an apartment block. (Doesn’t help with living in the woods, but I think we were all born a bit late for that to be practical for most, tho we could rebuild community gardens and rewild our spaces if we condensed housing)

That’s what I want too. I hate owning property and needing to upkeep it and shit, all so I can have growing space and privacy. And I don’t even have much of either.

We can do those things, we just choose not to for… reasons.

I get it, but sub urbs still kinda suck for that. Too dense for freedom and privacy, yet to sparse for transit or cultural events.

Totally agree. I don't think single family housing is really good or fair anymore. Hell I am not sure I even think humans can own a piece of land. I feel selfish for wanting to be able to buy a house.
