I grew up in a city of mostly rowhomes and I love them. Plan on buying one one day.

You still get walk-ability, sense of community and good population density (not as good as a high-rise but still good), but also more privacy, and the space is more conducive to raising a family than an apartment. Also they’re cute as fuck and people can paint them different colors and have cool little gardens on their porches and stuff.

    I think a lot of urbanists in general forget to leave room for nuance and material conditions in general. Not everything has to be a blocky apartment (even though I quite like those provided the walls are soundproofed and they’re tenant-owned.
