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.

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.
