We need to make out cities and towns more family friendly. This missing middle is a great first step back in the right direction.
Almost all new large towers/buildings in north america prioritize bachelor's units 1 and 2 bedroom units. Trying to find a well priced 3 or 4 bedroom in a "lively" downtown center, close to transit and work, with plenty of schooling in the area is almost impossible.
Here's a good article talking about why developers don't provide adequate family units.
https://www.centerforbuilding.org/blog/we-we-cant-build-family-sized-apartments-in-north-america
This together with zoning requirements in north america is pushing most cities and developers to only cater towards large towers or single family housing.
I don't need schooling. I need that third bedroom so my mom can come live with us because senior care is the cost of another whole mortgage and being regular humans we just don't have it. So, put it near a hospital or in a 15-min area, but I don't need shrieking kids (gen-x kids remember being told to only scream like they're dying when they're actually dying) interrupting work all day.
The Child-Free should be banished from the city, freeing up housing for the productive parents that spend 3 hours every day commuting into work.
All people should be treated as equals and respected.
This comment has some serious elitist energy to it.
In fairness, it was also made in response to a "back-in-my-day" comment, which should immediately disqualify the poster from consideration.
Back in my day internet people had nuanced respectful discussions.
