If you have a farm or factory with unaffordable living it's called a "diseconomy of scale". But if you create emails it's called "hurting agglomoration".
Different places have different vibes. A lot depends on the culture around you, we grew up in suburban south London where everyone seemed to have a family. There is a lot of mid density housing in our nearest town in West Kent which is snapped up by young families (where daughter lives), where the little park with its playground is Central Park for the children to run around, small ones on the swings, older ones on bikes going around the park’s circuit. Then the prams and buggies get pushed down to the High Street and Gails. There is a popular local primary school and clubs for football, dancing and gymnastics - it’s quite an attractive milieu, maybe one that’s taken for granted by its residents.

I'm from suburban south London too.
Yep - culture really matters & there is a lot more to say about all that. Daniel Hess and Lyman Stone are v interesting on the housing bit.
