Instead of houses, more and more people are residing in tall apartment buildings in various cities around the world. These apartments are not really spacious but their advantage is that they are affordable.
One viable advantage of this is that high-rise apartments are affordable. Previously, people had to wait decades and save tons of capital in order to purchase houses but now even those with low income can afford to live in apartments. This allows them to have a roof above their head and gives them a feeling of ownership, which was’nt possible before. For instance, In US, new entrepreneurs are able to purchase their own apartments even if they started their business an year ago.
On the other hand, apartments are not as spacious as houses. Families with few members can live in them but those with big family will find it undeniably dificult. Each person has their own clothes, bed andcupboard. When a large numbered family lives in there, things will get messy. This causes frustration and they will fight with each other for more space, privacy and seperate room. As a result, their family bond will be negative effected. For example, in Pakistan the average family size is of 6-8 people, making it hard for them to live in an apartment of 2 rooms.
In conclusion, there is a rise in number of people who are now residing in high-rise apartment buildings because of the affordability factor. However, they don’t get the same experience as they would get in a house as there is not enough space in them.
