Where would you rather live a house or an apartment?

That would be a neat dream to have come true.

Profile says you're a gal that likes planes, kinda cool! My mom turned out to be a more natural pilot than dad

Profile is correct. I like planes, and quite a few boats and ships, some cars and old locomotives and maglev trains.
Good for your mom!

A fairly small house (either coastal cottage style or log cabin) with a large kitchen and art studio, running on solar and wind power.

I live in a house with a fenced back yard, and a good hedge in front.

It is pretty private and perfect.

There's no way I could ever survive in an apartment...I'd either die of boredom, or get kicked out.

My friends live in apartments, and every time I visit, they always have to tell me to quiet down, and I can't stand it Plus, I can't imagine not being able to play my guitar whenever I want to...and I'm pretty sure bass would just be completely out of the question

in the house your basically in constant war ageist nature.
you think apartments have lots of roaches?
most houses I visit have bigger stuff unless effort is put in to eradicate it constantly(which can be pretty fun at times).
apartments are streamlined and organized. in many places you can go down walk 2 minutes and get food for 3 days for all categories in a house you have to own a car often otherwise your going to walk in the order of 40 minutes even in suburbia
some neighbors can get very pesky or even threaten you for their scizoid-paranoid BS but for the most time they are faceless drones for all I am concerned or are in a decent neighborly relation with everyone.
another thing in apartments is white noise you have plenty of it often when you need to in a low density area I assume anything irregular would drive me mad to put on earplugs...
and yeah condos are condos...
in the likes of theese:

Obviously me dream is to live in something in the lines of hong kong (well a lot of talk about dubai recently but it's nothing special aka medieval slave built dictatorship for the rich to come with their monies) where there is little of the ill effects of extreme population density and a lot of the good parts.

it will take a while inb4 too many pars of the world build like this to be affordable for bigger chunks of society.

I thought Dubai was more open minded (especially in relation to Saudi Arabia).

I actually heard a rumor that the Sultan of Oman was gay.

I've lived in both. In apartments someone else usually takes care of the repairs. But the neighbor noise! OY! I would prefer a house with a large yard so that I was not too close to the nearest house, so that I would not hear their noise. (Yes, some houses have neighbors who are very noisy, but at least it's usually not so loud that you have to bang on the wall to get them to be quiet enough so that you can hear someone speaking to you on the telephone!)

Definitely a house. I like my space and I don't want to share wallspace with neighbours.

My goal eventually is to get my own place. I would like an apartment for one person, nice kitchen, warm, with a nice balcony for my animals.

Houses usually have too many rooms - I don't need them.

a house so i can have a dog.

oman is not dubai or in the UAE. so is quwait and others.
I mean open minded for the rich who buy stuff there is one thing the fact that 80% of the population there lives under slavery-type restraints (no passport etc) is abhorring.
+ them being on the arab league and OPEC doesn't put too much positive light on them.
and yet again you can be gay there if you got the connections and money or do pretty much anything. islam is just a quantitative tradition to raise the price on certain things there.
but I don't want it to be a political debate this is not the place so say whatever you want and let it finish here. there is a bigger debate this thread is about.
and yeah it's damn hot in there. 40+ celsius isn't rare.

houses vs apartments... I wonder where is the seam in between.

Yes, it would. But I'm far from my dream at this point. Sigh...

As if that helps one bit!
