Dogs living in apartment vs. House?

i don't think a dog knows what it is living in ... i have lived in huge homes, tiny apartments and a sailboat and my dog did not care where we were, she was happy in all (i think she liked the boat the best which was the smallest but she could jump off and swim to her hearts content) ... and i also think dogs that live in apartments tend to be better trained and socialized ... you can not live in an apartment with a barker, you would not have a home anymore ... you can not live in an apartment with an aggressive dog, you would be evicted ... you can not live in an apartment with a destructive dog as you would be evicted ... barkers, aggressive dogs, and destructive dogs live in houses not apartments ... apartments are in downtown/more condensed areas where there are lots of people and lots of dogs so dogs get used to seeing other dogs more so than dogs left in backyards resulting in better socialized dogs ... and not having a backyard means my dog is walked at least 3 times a day, the backyard crew cannot say the same ... when i visit my parents who live in a house in the burbs the dogs are barkers and chasers, that would not be acceptable in a downtown area ... but these dogs in the burbs rarely leave their backyards and the owners just seem to accept the behavior ... and sorry, the burbs suck, cookie cutter houses, people living to pay off their cookie cutter dream, give me an apartment downtown any day :O) when i take my dog for a walk i do not walk by houses that all look the same, i walk to the ocean, to one of north americas larger urban parks, i walk the entire city which is interesting and always unique ...
