This is some suburban delusion. Do you think the people who own multimillion dollar condos in NYC would rather live in a single family home? What's stopping them?

I want to be in the heart of a bustling city where I can walk to everything and do something different every night. That's not possible in suburbia.

They'd probably rather live in a single family home in NYC.

They have to choose between contradictory desires: single family home over condo, but NYC over suburbs or rural.

Has a lot to do with time of life too. I had similar feelings in 20s while single.
