How Canadian of you.
Trying to label one style of living as objectively better than another one because of some random instance of a sink falling out due to negligence seems pretty silly. As for personal preference, sure, wouldn't we all rather live on a giant lot with no annoying neighbors?
That's like someone living in bearspaw saying they think you are crazy for living in a cramped city lot with another house 6 inches from your own. Everyone is going to have their own priorities.
We are extremely spoiled in Canada that our population density is so low and we can all afford to buy giant SFHs. Most large urban centres or countries with high population density are far more accustomed to dealing with horrible realities like sharing a wall with a neighbor or having to cooporate with fellow homeowners to make mutually beneficial housing decisions.
