"Apartments will be more popular than small housing"

If anything its a choice. If someone wants to go with a smaller house, and possibly transfer to a bigger one in the future, they can. They can put stuff in a yard, and see their neighbors. Thats part of the allure. If someone just wants a larger interior, they can get one with a larger apartment. If anything larger apartments might open up more plots for people who don't care about having a yard, etc. so that people who DO could purchase those small plots, and begin working their way up.

Its a choice between "house, apartment, larger apartment"

As it is right now its "have an apartment and like it"
But it's not a contradiction?

As they stand, Apartments wouldn't be any more popular than housing, no matter what. Purely because of reasons I've already stated. They could be much larger than large Houses, but people will still complain purely for the sake of doing so. They could have a legit reason of hating Apartments getting preferential treatment (like many house owners may do, if apartments just get everything a house gets, minus the camping. I know that'd piss a lot of people off.) especially when housing is meant to be superior to apartments.

That superiority, of course. Comes with its own drawbacks. Such as the demo-timer. I still stand by my point that, if Apartments did indeed become genuinely even when compared to housing, then apartments should have to deal with the same ruleset the housing does. Otherwise, it will completely burn most (not all) desire to have a house.

Why own a Large House if a Large Apartment offers you the exact same, without the demo-timer?
For bragging rights? Nobody goes to the wards anyways, so that 'brag' is worthless.

It would cause more issues than it solves, as people would divert their hatred for apartments towards personal-house owners, because "Why own a house, when an apartment is better? You're just being a dick to FCs" being the assumed general reasoning.

(Not saying this would happen in any capacity. But given people on this forums, I am inclined to assume something similar to this would occur. People aren't happy, no matter what changes come. There'll always be someone pissed off it isn't what THEY want.)
