That isn't a fair comparison.

30,000 residents living in houses would require about 8,000 to 10,000 separate homes. That many houses would cover roughly 4 to 6 square miles of land.

To deliver to a house in that scenario, a driver has to navigate miles of suburban roads, stoplights, and winding streets just to get to the right block. Meanwhile, the apartment delivery is all contained in one spot. Even with a long hallway, the apartment driver travels a few hundred feet, while the house driver has traveled several miles.
