I'm sure there are such people, but doubt they are many. Most people don't like dealing with upstair-neighbor noises, waiting for elevators or walking up long flights of stairs, not being able to make music/tv noise whenever you want, not having space (indoor or outdoor),etc... Not once have I ever heard of a person complain how they wish they could live in an apartment instead of a house. I'm sure it happens, but seeing the topic is about housing strategies for the masses, the views of the majority should be taken into account.

You are in a bubble. People self sort according to their housing preferences in this country due to onerous zoning. People who like to walk around their neighborhood go to apartments, people that dont mind driving everywhere get SFH. Just because there isnt much overlap doesnt mean the other group doesnt exist. I know many people that have happily sold their SFH to move into a downtown condo.
