lowrises are a weird compromise, they combine the worst features of single-family houses and commieblocks. you don't have land like in a commieblock, and you have sprawl almost as bad as with single-family housing.
and you don't get the anonymity of living in a 300-flat building where people generally try to respect each other's privacy and you may never meet your neighbors and are not expected to want to meet them. in a 2-story building you are basically shackled to a bunch of people you didn't choose. and of course you don't get the main advantage of living in a commieblock, which is having every shop and service in walking distance and open 24/7. with lowrises you still have to drive around, nobody would even run a bus line for a couple hundred of people
