It's genuinely a very nice place to live. Spent a year out there, and have no complaints. Felt my QoL was amazing. I was outside all the time, doing shit, and being incredibly social and involved.
Was trying hard to think of a complaint, but.... ha, nothing. I guess I was truly happy at that point of life. Bravo Spain! :)

Can anyone speak to the quality of the apartments built too? I imagine a large part of affluent families choosing to continue to live in apartments is because their quality of living doesn't decrease. Whereas I feel the median apartment in the US has issues with noise between walls/windows, low quality flooring/cabinetry, and depending on the area you may not even get the benefits of mixed used zoning.

As the article noted, the fact that Madrid has continuously expanded the metro system has led to lower costs for construction since they have maintained the muscle needed for efficient construction.
