    No garden to enjoy.

    Community garden/allotments, parks, nature.

    No vegetables

    Community supported agriculture (CSA), community gardens/allotments.

    No privacy

    I guess this sentiment stems from US-American toilet stalls, but apartments have walls and doors. I heard HOAs, neighbours are very good at privacy in suburban housing.

    No ability to get solar panels.

    ‘Balkonkraftwerke’, roughly balcony power plants, are solar panels that can be installed to a regular outlet given the right electricity meter.

    No room for improvement.

    Ugly version: No hurry, landlords do that to you.

    Slightly better version: House community decides consensually.

    Better version: Housing cooperative helps you within limits.

    No EV charging.

    a) Likely untrue, especially with newer buildings. b) Likely unnecessary, because there’s little need due to bicycles, public transport or car sharing and all services within short reach. Electric bicycles, cargo bicycles exist.
