That is still affordability. When cities are expensive you get more for you money in the suburb. A hobby room, home office or cooking space. But the cost of suburbs are inherently expensive. So when cities are affordable you get more for your money in a city. Because you get some space but also better access to things like offices, makerspaces or restaurants.

I don't want to rant to much, but most people don't like woodworking. They even less like doing woodworking on their own. It is something they conclude they should do because they can and don't have many alternatives. I'm sure it is covered somewhere online.

The first point is reasonable enough, but the point still stands you can't find the same size house in the city for the suburb price. Most cities simply don't have more than a handful of spacious houses with big yards.

Your second point is invalid, as you're arguing against his assumptions. It's only possible to argue againt someone's logic, arguing someones assuptions is the same as calling names. I like woodwork and have alternatives.

You don't need the same space. That is the point. Yes, if I lived in a suburb I would also want more space because everything else would be harder to do.

I'm not arguing against their assumption. I said most, that isn't them. This is exactly why I didn't want to elaborate, so I won't.

what if I want the same space? that's the assumption
