>I disagree that people dislike shared and more dense housing because of their conceptions about what what noise insulation could be

Have you ever lived in apartments? Because It's the reason I bought a house instead of a condo or townhouse. Not everybody has families, in fact single person households are on the rise in the US and this style of living would be ideal for them.

I had not considered that single person households would be more willing to live in shared housing if it had better noise insulation. That is a good point.

However, I feel like the cost for building concrete shared housing unit must be high enough such that the people willing to pay that much for shared housing units would rather just pay a little more and buy a detached stick house.
