Parks and trails aren't private. Maybe I just want to drop acid in a safe place anytime I want, and run around the yard naked, okay? Can't do that in an apartment.
Also you forgot to assess the issue of shitty neighbors. I need my space to get away from them.
Many parks are large enough that you can easily find privacy. Nudity is perfectly legal in most decent cities so dropping acid naked in a secluded part of the park would not be much of an issue.
I didn't address shitty neighbors because I don't have a decent solution. Same with shitty neighbors in SFHs. I could see noise being more of an issue especially if insulation is crap.
I'm not saying apartment living is perfection but I also would not say it sucks. Both apartments/condos and single family homes have their issues.
