I love rowhomes. Every neighborhood with rowhomes feels like a real place where real people live. It’s the right trade off between density and livability, especially for families with kids. Commodified housing is still the main problem, but in terms of urban design, it doesn’t get much better.
Rent is 99k a month and your first born. Also planting in the garden is a lease violation
As I said, commodified housing is the main problem.
Nah, there's some good ones out there. Shared common spaces is a good thing actually, and rowhomes are fantastic for making such constructions. Also great for fostering a sense of community, which then leads to the citizens taking care of each other and the area. Of course they need to have the freedom and resources to do so.
You're also moreso describing a systemic issue of capitalism, than one of rowhomes specifically.
