Sounds like a literal nightmare to me. No garden to enjoy. No vegetables. No privacy. No ability to get solar panels.
No room for improvement. Basement second levels. Changing plumbing windows etc. No ability to charge your ev.
Fuck is this some corporate bullshit
Community garden/allotments, parks, nature.
Community supported agriculture (CSA), community gardens/allotments.
I guess this sentiment stems from US-American toilet stalls, but apartments have walls and doors. I heard HOAs, neighbours are very good at privacy in suburban housing.
'Balkonkraftwerke', roughly balcony power plants, are solar panels that can be installed to a regular outlet given the right electricity meter.
Ugly version: No hurry, landlords do that to you.
Slightly better version: House community decides consensually.
Better version: Housing cooperative helps you within limits.
a) Likely untrue, especially with newer buildings. b) Likely unnecessary, because there's little need due to bicycles, public transport or car sharing and all services within short reach. Electric bicycles, cargo bicycles exist.

That sounds like hell man. I hope you spend more time outisde
