Yes. And also importantly, I live in a city that has an abundance of missing middle housing, meaning it's probably the most affordable major city in North America, has a very high quality of life, has terrific walkability and bikeability, and punches well above its weight in terms of rapid transit.

The result is I live in a good quality apartment, in a very convenient location, without roommates, all for a surprisingly affordable price.

But because so many cities make it extremely hard -- if not straight up illegal -- to build anything but suburban sprawl, those cities are far more expensive and far more car-dependent.
