In the US, if you own an apartment it's typically called a condo or townhouse so an apartment usually does indicate that it's a rental. Maybe that's a good indication that these discussions need to change their language when talking to Americans to make sure to include the words condo and townhouse. I live in a condo and the HOA sorta sucks but it has a lot of other advantages and we have a huge yard.

You know what? No. Fuck Americans, I'm going to refer to these as flats and see how that goes.

I agree. I am not sure the entire world needs to change for one country's need to feel better

@lagomorphlecture Ah, thanks. That explains a lot in this thread. But still, living in an apartment can be great. Maybe right now in the US it's hell. But it doesn't have to be that way.
