Let me emphasize high rise living is not for families of five. They
are for singles and couples whose children have grown.

Works in the far east. But there tends to be less loutish behaviour in
those
societies.

Works to a limited extent in Scotland - 3-5 story tenements are common
in cities, villa flats (often look like large semis, but made up of 4
flats) are common further out.

I wasn't considering 5 stories as high rise. I have twice lived in a block
this size, but whenever I have viewed a block say 20 stories it has never
appealed - there are just too many minuses
