high, modern building or a traditional house?
These days, younger often wonder whatever to stay in a building with modern facilities or a grounding house with yard. I personally chose to live in a high-quality apartment in a horizontal city due to many obvious advantages.
Owning a private house is beneficial in some ways. Firstly, people just have to pay less for building services. Besides electronic bills and water usage bills, owners do not need to pay for security service, environmental service and a bunch of requirement fees. Additionally, living lower to the ground is safer for inhabitants when emergencies occur. It is easier for people to escape from fire of a house than a tall building. For example, in the year of 2018, there was more than 3 buildings in Vietnam were affected by fire, most of inhabitants living in higher apartment were lack of survival skills when facing the emergency.
On the other hand, there are variety reasons why people decide to live in tall buildings. One reason is that a city with skyscrapers will have more space for public usage. Small business could rent an apartment from its owner as a small office. Landlords buy these small rooms for rent then earn profits from their renters. Furthermore, a wide rage of goods and services is available for everyone for inhabitants living in buildings. Modern apartments contain a number of free services such as swimming pool, tennis club, parks, yoga, personal training at gymnastic that allow people to approach the best conditions. For instance, my sister is living in a modern building, instead of paying a lot of money for a yoga class, she now could join in this for free.
If I have a choice, I would like to live in a apartment with good facilities for free rather than that of a traditional house.
