Where the missing middle of housing isn't missing
My concern is whether owning a multi-family home would really give me the autonomy that leads me to want to own a home in the first place. It seems to me that non-single family homes are more similar to rental apartments than they are to true ownership.<p>For example:<p>- You probably can&#x27;t put in a workshop because the noise would bother the neighbors.<p>- You often don&#x27;t have any sort of yard or outside space so you can&#x27;t pursue hobbies that can&#x27;t reasonably be practiced indoors.<p>- You can&#x27;t modify the outside of the house so you are limited in your ability to customize your home.<p>I guess my concern is that this would lead to a world where only the rich can have homes that give true ownership and everyone else is stuck in multi-family homes. At least in the current system the middle class and the richer end of the working class can often afford single family homes.
