If they have to live in a small appartment and don't even own a tiny patch of land to garden and play, they want to force you to live like that too. You will own nothing.
Not to mention the fantasy assumption that they are going to leave undeveloped green space for trees around the urban high-rise you moved in to from your single-family home instead of filling every space around you with similar high-density high rises.
Most importantly for these types, I suspect, the suburban house is yours, so you get to make decisions about selling a chunk of it off for a new house to be built.
If it's all apartments, owned by the state (or corporation), these budding authoritarians have already seen the possibilities to install as many soon-to-be-crack-dens (because nothing says "liberal city" like rampant crime and drug problems) as they want without you having any possibility of interfering.
