Further, I'm a little suspicious of the RE media and Oz or 'white nativist'* propaganda industry who encourage people to worship houses on a block while ignoring disadvantages (some related to light, energy, design and construction quality e.g. no tree lines blocking harsh daytime sun).
* The white nativist lobby's tactic is to demonise immigrants etc. indirectly via proxies, just in case anyone thinks they are racist. Accordingly, even apartment living comes into their cross hairs as it's apparently preferred by immigrants, Asians etc.
On the other hand, many educated, media sceptic and supposedly aware peope, living in houses, are able to offer negative views on new CBD apartments, without ever visiting let alone staying in one, e.g. size, light, noise, construction quality, capital gains, body corporate etc.
If buyers or tenants of both houses and apartments are aware of the pros and cons, while having a systematic plan of what fits their needs, then maybe the market will inform others, and there is no need to demonise apartments? (It's not unlike the seemingly nuanced and rehearsed antipathy displayed about football vs ARL/NRL via MSM, i.e. sports codes placed onto the altar of 'Oz identity' vs foreign imports)
