I live in NYC, love it, but roof greenhouse gardens are hard to come by to say the least. Same with garages for that matter. And any shared space has all sorts of considerations with where you store things etc.

An example: I want to sand and revarnish a chest of drawers we have. If I do that inside the apartment I'll have dust everywhere and then the stink of varnish will pervade the space. There are also no suitable shared spaces for me to use.

It is what it is, I accept it as a price of city life. But it's definitely a downside.
